Trapped
December 14, 2023
O generous one, instruct my life.
Look down and preach to me
your ludicrous script.
Tug my strings, my feathers.
I am a stone:
worn but ever stoic.
My ultramarine force, modest
against your eternal light, divine deity.
Lorn soul still a cobalt flame:
disintegrating but never dead.
Assumed to be the malleable marionette
of the savior savant.
Looking back, I see my mistakes:
Trust over mistrust. Faith over query.
Never again will I fall down.
Never again will I fall victim.
Never again will I fall apart.
