Disgrace

11/19/14

Rejection, red faces,

Eyes lowered in shame 

For the lives that they've ruined

Perfection, pristine gestures

Chin raised with the pride 

Of successful ventures

But below a golden mask

Hides a human so gruesome

That it must be sheltered

Deception, cape of beauty

You're pulling the strings

Like a puppet master

We're marching

Like soldiers

To the beat of the drum

Of the matriarchy.

Flee, 

Abandon me,

You'll find fear masked by wisdom

Running from responsibility 

I give myself to you

I'll commit to you

Because of my lies

Price of freedom

Rejection, perfection

Deception, disgrace
