Binding Words
I’ll hide behind these binding words
make pretend I’m something else
a shadow of the inner mind
heart and soul concealed in prose
deceit is not my base intent
when shame states its desire
wishing nothing to deface
perception based on purity
blessings showered from above
nothing ill has occurred
this will be the message sent
when honesty has been replaced
this temptation does exist
it’s not lying to remit
all the pain felt within
to only show the shiny bits
I’ll chain the muse to my will
deny it breadth of my self
scratching only joy and bliss
in prosaic latitudes
presentation is obscured
with only best brought forward
my defense cloaks the hurt
a wounded person binding words
