Audacity
Appreciated, Accepted, Assuaged--
all things that signify respect,
and yet
we are left with copious amounts of
Belittlement, Bias, Brokenness.
Individuality is SADISTICALLY strangled.
Consideration, Concern, Compassion--
all things that deserve to be employed,
and yet
we are left with copious amounts of
Degradation, Delusion, Dysfunction.
Ambitions are BRUTALLY bludgeoned.
Entertained, Enthralled, Encouraged--
all things that we should be,
and yet
we are left with copious amounts of
Facetiousness, Frustration, Futility.
Expectations are SAVAGELY slashed.
The disappointment
The rage
VILIFYING my psyche,
already saturated in sorrow...
The realization that
respect, employment, "should be's"
are rejected
to feed the delusion of 'order.'
