I wrote this last night, just a bit of free association I guess, but it's written in 6 syllable lines. I thought it was kinda cool, lemme know what ya think =-)
Running away, free will
in my pocket burning
with the choices for the
future. I look away
into a blackened void
littered with dusty specks
of light and find no solace
only summer solstice.
realizing my path
is painted in that sky,
that tale told of puppets
dangling from strings, I
dance to the tune of our
marionetted songs
helping to create this
illusion, adding more
to the confusion, not
content anymore to
fashion these icons of
conformity. It's time
time to escape, rebel
I pull, and I fight and
the strings have set me free
broken from my wrists and
torn from my ankles, feed
my visions of free will.
Brush in hand, sky as my
canvas, I now paint those
stars, those pieces of my
future. I've removed the
prism to reveal the wisdom
no longer stuck inside
the schism of the great
and misleading vision.
 
Thanks =-)
It kinda follows from a poem I wrote a long time ago. In fact I think I may have posted it on here a long long time ago... (haven't been back in awhile.)
Anyways, if ya care, this is how it went:
This cluttered room has no lights
I'm tripping
over
my
thoughts
The light I find in images from my mind but that's where they stay
I'm blind...
I hide...
So please, don't let go of my hand
I won't find the way
Doesn't matter anyways I guess
aimlessly wandering in unfamiliar territory
yet,
I know exactly where I am.
Heading for nowhere
Because I want to be everywhere, but
I don't care,
anymore...
No,
the concern left when the dreams became a reality
For in a world of darkness,
what is a dream?
I guess it's a combination of the pain you feel,
and a reality you imagine...
and then you find yourself
tripping
over
your
thoughts
in a cluttered room
with no lights.
