Of Justice

 “Oath Forsaken”

L-A-W, is to be upheld

But who-are-you to tell me I am un-law-ful?

That my Voice is out of  line

That my Voice carries too far—

That it’s time I learned to Speak softer…

Your badge is power given by The People to protect

     —Protect human rights laid down in the Constitution

Freedom to speak is one of those amendments

     —So WHY must I amend what I’m sayin’?

Your voice is just as strong as mine SAVE for fear,

No one says how far Out of line you have stepped

But you can keep on steppin’—

If you do not wish to hear what I have to say

About the lack of wisdom in your words

Carrying farther than my Voice truly RAISED

In illustration, and not in frustration

All L-A-W-S must be upheld—

And by ignoring my rights, officer

You.      Have.      Failed.

Of Fear

                     "ESCAPE"                                        

Rain rapidly hits the rooftops,

A liquid mirror, to mask my heart

Beating faster—

The vibration of my footsteps

Pounding against the pavement

Are echoed by the thunder                                                                             

Breaking the sky,

As I, myself, am breaking

The cruel laughter from behind

Is the only factor in my mind

Making me run, run faster—

The storm seizing the night

Has swallowed the cry of my voice,

Robbing me of its protection

Subjecting me, to the nightmare of a dream

In which I cannot run, run faster—

Monsters have closed in

Ripping away, my feet from under me,

Extinguishing the Sun in me

Yet, my heart is still running,

Running away, running faster—  

Plastic City

Disappointment is a bitter taste stained upon my tongue,

Not one fresh drop of hope can wash away the pain I feel by being cast out

Outcasted from the friendship I thought I had and thrust into by Reality--

Repeatedly raped of my innocent trust to be cared for, as much as I care for.

Broken upon the edge of facts, fractures have me healing slowly, deformability

By the careless hand, proving a point, I am changed--

The heart of me wants to forgive and believe once more,

But my mind has been dominated to fear ever being caught so vulnerable again.

The fond friend you repeatedly abused is forgotten where you left her--   

I arise! A survivor of the Plastic City.
