In My World of Safe Restrictions

Choices, choices, choices...

In my world of safe restrictions,

   While the world decays and falls,

All the irking contradictions

   Nullify religious walls.

Tantalizing, hypnotizing,

   Terrible, yet oh, so good...

Opposite of unsurprising.

   Killing me (just as it should).

Is it wrong, or is it perfect?

   Something tells me to go on.

Soulmatism is no object.

   Something tells me this is wrong.

Hell and Heaven intertwine when

   Eyes are locked, or even glance.

Light and darkness become one and

   Boy descends into a trance.

Years.

Author's Note

One of my best acrostics, in my opinion. Written a while ago. Not true anymore, but I impressed myself with this one and want to leave it up. Hopefully that doesn't make me seem TOO cocky.

wonderful write Truman! Oh what a wicked path we walk when eyes lock...finding us bespelled in the most wonderous and scary ways.

very nice!! perfect meter and rhyme, as always!! great social commentary here and brilliantly written!!

[Zoe Jay]

Really well executed rhyme scheme, very readable, nice alliteration, excellent style. Abstract, but not so abstract that it has no clear message. Nice introduction. Really good commentary on the restrictions and artificiality of modern living. I really like this!

The peaceful sincerity of heart and unifying commonalities you find in all is an example I will always look to imitate. Rhyme is sublime, as always; and the subject is relatable to all. But only you could have tackled it with such dead on precision. Bravo.
