The Lie

Mouth open wide

Yet nothing comes out

Demons inside

Come calling to shout

They cover your voice

To never be heard

Monsters rejoice

With not but a word

Cannot be outrun

Escape at no end

The deed to be done

True outcome depend

Looking up into the sky

To see the beauty of the Lie

[Richard Man]

Great to read a poem with a sonnet format. Was this your intention? Shakespeare used this particular structure and rhyming scheme... iambic pentameters... he wrote 10 syllables per line but the shortened lines also create stanza with echoes of haiku without again the specific syllabic restriction.

Yes I wrote this to be a sonnet. I thought I had marked it as suck but I guess not. Just the flow is enticing to me, I tend to write much that way. Thanks for reading!

Damn, I love the in your face nature of this write.
