Paradox (Pt. 3)

My infraction proved necessary

Narcissus is more than willing

To compromise and disregard

She is indeed loony

With her drunken stare

And faltering stance

But you see,

I have all my treasures here

Regardless

I am still ready

To escape this thorned nest

Money does not buy love

You coward of all things true

And I shall not give it

'Tis only a tool for you

I feel my freedom

In my heart

And in my stomach

Begging to be relieved

It is my time, now

Goodbye, and good riddens

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

I must say that this is quite the think tank of poetic indulgence. Portraying Narcissus as a woman is perfectly pleasing in my mind, a daring escape from the norm, well done, a great read.
