Pirouette
Fragile as eggshells,
Carelessly dancing on a needle;
Oblivious to the face,
We have no right to freedom.
Cuffs and chains,
Are wrapped around me;
Unfairly banished
From all society.
Choices were made,
Consequences to be endured;
For another man’s decisions,
My misery is their cure.
I befriended a deadly tide,
And got smashed with a brick;
Now clinging to a mountainside
With nails snapped to the quick.
Most exits have closed,
Been locked up tight;
Darkness is setting in,
to live infinite night.
In a maze of lies,
I am searching for a key;
To prove I am not,
What they made me out to be.
The cold concrete walls,
With solid steel doors;
Moonbeams and starlight,
Will shine on me no more.
Desperately wishing for,
Just one last chance;
How graceful I’d be,
For I learned how to dance.
