I had pledged myself
to authenticity...
(With that being said)
I feel like being
a criminal today;
I won't murder or steal,
no—my depraved mind
would rather defraud
& Deprive,
By concealing the truth
Around all I think
and feel
with conveniently
ambiguous emojis
And lies...well, maybe not
straight up fabrications
But lesser versions of truths
that I struggle to contend,
That twist and pull, and
Bend
my insides like
pipe cleaners
or yoginis /
Someone,
somewhere said, the truth
Might free me...
but I feel
like being in bondage today;
enslaved inside
This familiar cage / why
would I unleash this...unreformed
gravity
of turmoil&uncertainty...
Onto settling palm trees
and porcelain,
already repaired
with gold?
I am corrupt...
but these bars
have yet to render
me heartless,
even as they restrain
me, in honest
misery.
