FACADE
Screaming signs
Nimble imagination
Fear of the unknown
Faces of a thousand byways
Mental stagnations
On the back
Burners boiling over
Layered chaos
Far too many
Like bread crumbs
I don’t wanna eat anymore
Unbreakable chains
Grab the bolt cutters
And unlock my true potential
Your purpose is greater
Then any pain
Your could suffer
At the hands
Of the uncomfortable uncertainty’s
That stewed
Wispy saboteur
Unraveling seasons
The constant pounding in my chest
Feelings I could never shake
Riddle me this
The many disguises
That hid my true nature
Behind a Molotov cocktail
The cup
That pinched me into a bind
Outdated projector
Reruns spinning
Without a remote
A flash flood
Of disturbing images
My clothes line was hampered
Cause and effect
You made the bed you slept in
A heat seeking missile
Gasping
For a longing embrace
Love is
A camouflage
To conceal the factual pain
As the facade slowly
Started taking form
Reaching it’s destined peak
I prefer the window dressings
I see now warm and inviting
Over the old ones
Played out
That finally got REMODELED
