Appearing Lines
Embolden, be heard
Face smirks and cruel words
Flow fades this evensong
Currents within torrent strong
It is lapping as if laughing
Black puddles wade on stage
Rattle the chain
Lock the steel cage
Struggling with belief
What was happening
Broken bully and garden rage
Detesting of sin, judgment, fear
Cap the well on salty tears
Not allowing the ink to dry
Adjusting later in life to find
Wrinkled smile, bloodshot eyes
Worn looking face appearing lines
Wondering if any moment is safe
About passing time
When we wake
