Gilded Cage

October 2009

Truth built on lies and deceit
Words unspoken, depths unheard
Broken and deserted
Pedestal destroyed
Gilded cage no more

Perfection imagined
Reality dark, desolate
Abandoned and alone
Question answered
Destruction followed

My burden to bear
Heart and soul destroyed
Demon unleashed by my hand
Broken dreams
Darkness

Blindness
Deceit
Justice
Nothing
Done

I walk alone

I like the positioning of your words, they were just perfect. The ending seemed perfect too, and that second stanza left me speechless. The adjectives used to describe reality when we try our best to convince ourselves that there is a moment of perfection later on in life, when there is really none to come. Amazing write!
