Stakes raised high, of no demise-
‘Tis fashion to be this way,
Create a shell, therein ye dwell-
Beyond Hope lies false façade.

As shadows fall, thy form stands tall-
To render his own living grave,
Crucify Love’s Tale, with Hate’s sour wail-
Be your own man, come judgment day.

At rise of dawn, as Heathen’s spawn-
You plagiarize good deeds as fronts,
Sighing that you must cremate Trust-
Obliterate feelings of lust and want.

I beg thy remembrance, 'tis one hindrance-
You must categorize true worth as so,
Before loneliness confiscates life’s grate-
Upon refusal to let your heart grow.

Outward solidity, inward insecurity-
‘Tis naught but a waste of time,
Count yourself worthy, bless security-
Think twice, mayhap this be thine...

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Devina, I read y'r poem 3 times, and each time I found parts I really loved.

Well, I'm gonna read it a few more times
