don't box me in the confines of your squared edges

don't box me in
the confines of
your squared edges
too sharp
to suit
my curving
morality
don't you know
complacency
is a
bondage?
made small
by comfort
my mongrel heart
discerns the trap
snatching bait
before the latch
is snapped

You can't square a circle with the normal methods of construction. And with your ability, you will break the more creative attempts at being boxed in.

I greatly admire your near singular talent to wrap a theme seamlessly within an exquisite fabric, spun by you, a gifted wordsmith.
I love the brevity of this. Skill is demanded to keep it uncluttered. It would be so much easier, and mediocre, to muddy this with words not needed.

The style in your writing adds emphasis to the point being expressed. The way your words are expressed goes beyond boundaries where each can take a different take. I saw a scene of a being held back from their true destiny, confined to the box of conformity. Thank you for sharing.
