actual vs professed reality
By KittyStryker
she fancies herself
a princess
cast away from luxury
brings attention
to her ruby lips
and fair skin
as if that
should insure
her privilege
and she sits pretty
waiting
for prince charming
for a fairy tale
ending
i say nothing
and let her live
in her fantasy
let her
bite the apple
follow
her script
i find
people
trapped
in glass caskets
are too busy
suffocating
to throw stones
it's better this way
i think.

"let her
bite the apple" I was listening to NIN (from Teeth: Track 2), and I found myself reading this poem, of yours... they feel related, somehow. The pounding bass, the pulsing beat of your words..."suffocating
to throw stones". You Know What You Are
