Tangled Verse

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfAwGfuxwe

Society's grinding gears and hollow demands

strip away his tenderness,

tearing poetry from his veins.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDP6d7Elbo

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.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFntaz3K4e

But he sees it clearly:

the net that ensnares him,

threads spun of expectation,

of obligations that silence his voice.

7Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0xD82Jgtj

Still, his hands tremble,

seeking the words to sever the strings,

yearning to write a way out.
