to inflate, to pamper, to exaggerate,
to turn a blind eye to flaws,
to compliment blemishes,
to say untruths, to go wow at every decision
i make, even the horrid ones,
to not tell me of my blind spots,
on a spur, on a airy fairy cool aid
you sew your lips
and speak your mind, every fantasy
touches the gold dust, no longer quite gold
with the spectators eagers to drink in this delight
overwhelming, banal retreats
such silence weighs like a heavy chain on neck
bowed low, onlookers see it not when appearances matter
thus the robotic motions are set forth,
like ping pong balls dashing to and fro,
what for? i do not know
why customs exist and the red tape is all around
so it seems that it was free will,
deceived. and still i made a choice,
had a choice. went wrong.
because i could not foresee,
did not relinquish idealisn,
that set me apart from
Ecstatic, exuberant, overjoyed
and I am off one mountain to the next
though they reside within,
all you would see is me walking without
a trace of emotion, since that is considered
normal behavior, fly, fly, fly
