Detained

I feel limited in action and emotion by outside sources. Nothing I could say or do would loosen the chains.

the irony of your beliefs
and what demands you extend
generates the laughter
of a bitter tongue;
one that speaks few
but grand.
with such surety
hangs all hope of sway
so oft infirmity
but presently not
when slim minds
best hearken.
what pursuits to be had
with your assent
by dint of rank
and fortuity
but you do not dare
dream as I do.
and so such visions
of care and conscience
do subside
but remain so vivid
as how but I covet
much brighter days.
