Castle of Lies
By Ginger Hinson
A prisoner in my pearlescent castle
Constructed from beautiful lies
To pacify my color coded life
Leading to creativity's decay
Existence ordered, numbered
Towards spirit's chiseling death
Greatness unachievable as I
Stumble through created fables
Self fibs mate, combine, multiply
The norm achieved, convention binds,
Dictates my views, my actions
Where's my passion? My soul tolls
Does my being notice, wonder
Against time's stealing promises
Of unhurried stance for many
Tomorrows will come? Lying lies.
I shall clasp today's willing hand,
Pull it with tenacity, Guide myself
Beyond illusions, wipe, slap away
Deceptions, Fill my living with candor
