From the perspective of someone else
Bodhi – Seoul (Erudire)
This one goes to my father
To my mother
To my God
And all the intentions they had for me.
Implant fictional memories of things I never lived
In this imminent break up, make me choose a side
Such a diabolical plan to take a child to manipulate
Push that love for a cornerstone deep in my insides.
I’ve found my shattered self
In a higher realm
Inside my own
Right where you left my dead pride and soul.
Move me with your strings, like the puppet you think I am
I’ll be bowing my head, waving my hands up, side to side
Dictate all the prayers, and the rules I’m set to understand
Push self-love in a small bottle that I must drink until I die.
This circus that you made of my youth
You made a pact for the cult that was set to sting
To praise a God that never gave a fuck
But now I’ve found a way to be again enlightened, liberated.
This again is a harsh look at reality through poetry. It really grabs the reader and you can feel the struggle with each line. Another great piece as always 🙂
