Contrived PerceptionA Poem by mhylandsTorn on how to alleviate this tension Afflicting the integrity of my resolve Tempted by the mere fantasy Tantalizing my every fiber of being Stuck and reminiscing distraction Exalted fascination fixated internally Heralding the rapture from dissonance Lofty aspirations instigate condemnation In veritas, I feel compelled Held back by constraints self-imposed Resisting the key to unbind Still, I cannot accept manifest fanaticism Often, expectations exceed reality Gambles rarely turn a profit So I force myself to believe Tearing away from curiosity Contriving a dulled outlook Monochromatic perception Nuances and differences fade Leaving nothing to dwell
