Carefree spirits bottled up inside
Trapped by emotions that tame
Hearts led around on a leash by its captor
Confused by the rules of the game
A forfeit of control for each fantasy ride
Obscuring the thief in the night
Mindful of the figure in the shadows
Intoxicated by the beacon of light
Consumed by the torture absence creates
A child-like adoration abounds
Hidden wonders desperate to explore
Each destructive hold astounds
The mystery and grace of nature move them
Token resistance to the iniquity
A wolf cries boy in a repetitive chord
Unleashing the clarity of their destiny
I like the flow and the rhyme of this. You have a good rhythm. Your words paint some nice pictures. I especially like “A wolf cries boy.” However, it is not clear to me what it is actually saying…what it’s about.
Thank you for the feedback Pogo7747. I’m glad you liked it. “A wolf cries boy” is a play on words from the story of the boy who cried wolf.
