Focused Regression

Focused Regression
Drawn in by what you promised
me that day i took the oath.
I fell prey to your diamond lies and
ever present smile. I recall awkward
days of doubting every thing I did.
All I had I gave to your limp crusade
and liar's pride. For one
moment I felt secure. Blind trust
false hope leads to dark days.
Scolded then scalded by your

burning accusations. The gates
to your shrine are hot to the touch
and quick to close. I never
wanted to stay, I just wanted the
fair exchange not your stepfordian creed.
Enlightenment at the cost of of
my feathers is not a price that
I am willing to pay. For one moment
I felt secure. I salute your
isolation as long as I'm allowed
to freely breathe as the sentient
beast I am. For one moment i
felt secure. Branded a dissident,
I brandish individuality. I slice a smile
of rebellion wide through your ranks
