Fragmented soul
splintered by reality
the damaged face
put on for society-
a fallen mask
of disillusion
shattered

expectation lavished
in comfort and perceived
need
the establishment of knowing
that lie can breath
no longer
necessity is no reason
to propagate
a falsehood
of perception

union-
is only a societal
construction
defined by people
who exist
within antiquated
philosophies

re-examining
that which works
for the individual
feasibly reconciled
with happiness
trying to be perfection
to all
without sacrifice
of hope

the twinklying lilght
inside the darkened window
glares forth
from within
a shimmering possibility
holding onto a miracle
to behold

Freedom?
granted to all by
the constitution
abolishing servitude
relinquishing oneself
from emotional shackles
a child has the right
to see all loved ones
