Vision of Conformity
I feel the cold stares
upon my back
they beat me with
obligatory shame
I'm not your
vision of conformity
only cruelty courses
through your worn veins
was it worth
selling your soul?
your bottomless anger
erodes my heart
venomously calm
and certainly deadly
the battle lines
have long been drawn
only now, they
begin to blur
petrified of truth
"futile revolution,"
you say.
aimlessly wandering
I scream
because
in the war of
hope versus defeat
only time will tell
the victor
