Can I See You?

the palace of reputation
an opaque glass cage that hides your heart. ties down your heart.
broken shards of sweet wishes pricking deep within.
to Janes and Johns - oh so magnificent!

the power of knowledge
master of skills. all and sundry. simple and surreal.
climb the pedestal. bigger milestones.
but does it break your vulnerabilities?

the rule of the world
yes or no - as they say. pink or blue - as they like it.
pop or rock - as they believe it. loud or low - as they dictate.
where's your voice? what's your way?

where are you? the mischiefs? flabs and flaws?
temptations? dark shades any?

will you ever break free? show your pain?
be yourself?
