RIB CAGE PRISON
RIB CAGE PRISON.
STEP OUT OF THE DARK
STEP UP TO THE MARK
STEP ON THE STAGE
SPLIT YOUR RIB CAGE
AND EXPOSE WHAT'S
INSIDE YOUR CHEST
BE THE BEST
YOU CAN BE
LET EVERYONE SEE
EXPOSE
WHAT RESIDES
ON THE INSIDE
OF YOUR TROMPE L'OEIL LIVING
DON’T THINK
STEP OVER THE BRINK
SPEW
THE LIFE YOU DREW
FOR EASE
TO PLEASE
PUBLIC CONSUMPTION
YOU MADE THE ASSUMPTION
THEY WANTED TO SEE
WHAT THEY WANTED YOU TO BE
THEN YOU MADE THE CHOICE
TO SILENCE THE VOICE
WHICH WOULD TELL YOUR STORY
IN ALL ITS TAINTED GLORY
IS IT ANY SURPRISE THEN?
YOU FELT THE DEMISE THEN
OF WHO YOU ARE
DON’T GO TOO FAR
GET SOME RIB CAGE LIVING
NOW YOU’RE READY FOR GIVING
YOUR ALL.
DON’T STALL
NO IFS AND BUTS
OFFER THE UPS
THE DOWNS
THE LAUGHS
THE FROWNS
TIMES YOU WERE SAD,
GLAD, MAD, OR BAD.
BECAUSE
NO MATTER HOW HARD
YOU TRY
YOU CAN ONLY LIVE A LIE
UNTIL REALITY OUTGROWS
THE SHAM.
SCREAM,
“THIS IS WHO I AM!!!”
THEN BE CONTENT
AND NEVER RESENT IT
MAKE A FRESH START
AND LET YOUR RIB CAGED HEART
BE FREE..

Tremendous stuff! Driving and relentless, like a verbal assault on the brain.
