Ivory Tower

 

Little dreamer,

You're hidden away,

Lost in your thoughts

Consummed by your prayers

 

Harm never registers

Darkness never stains

Yet each and every inch of you

Quivers with decay

Having been dipped, held

Tightly by your ankle,

Into dark inpurity

Left to drown by those

Seemingly gentle hands

 

How will you ever be the same?

Nothing really seems to click

Reality just will not settle

 

Your daydreams are much

More than that

Keeping you chained

Held as a willing prisoner

High up in your ivory tower

 

Though many have tried

To change your fate

They all come crashing down

 

You're far too gone

And your parents weep

Leaving you cradled by the

Hands of Christ to

Dream in a peaceful sleep

 

Untouched

Unbroken

Free

Author's Note

In my english class my teacher constantly teaches us about allusions, so I decided to apply a few. Though, it's not purely academic. Hope you enjoy :)

I wish I could write something like this xD
The write was pretty strong though, to be honest .-.
