Tangled Verse

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVJOashbOa

Society's grinding gears and hollow demands

strip away his tenderness,

tearing poetry from his veins.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HNpjEFmgG

Discontent festers,

with their hollow words,

their empty gestures,

their charade of connection.

He clutches at his time now,

guarding each fleeting moment,

weighing every thought

against the weight of the lies he's told.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuM1Xe2hcJ

But he sees it clearly:

the net that ensnares him,

threads spun of expectation,

of obligations that silence his voice.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf6q8NqRFK

And still, his hands tremble,

seeking the words to sever the strings,

yearning to write a way out.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO6mmyfnLA
