Did you hear that?
The subtle lifting of the hazy dirge
That smothers and stilts the soul into submission
No matter the number of push-ups
And sit-ups it strives to strengthen itself with
Through the years
Weighted by fears that should diminish, not grow
Over time, yet the sublime
Passion that youth hefts (un)knowingly (un)toward
A life promised to fulfill and protect
Still finds itself subject
To and of the opposite of the Disney tale
Force-fed, led through
And behind the curtain they should have mentioned
To begin with?
