Society's Whore

Society’s Whore

I watch Inspiration flee,
Cruel Life hard on its heels,
flanked by the marching hands of Time.

I hear the screams of Innocence echo
as she finally succumbs to Maturity,
unable to hold out any longer against his attack.

Dreams are shattered;
torn to shreds by Truth’s firing squad,
left abandoned in Reality’s wasteland.

All is gone,
all is lost,
for what you ask?
For the chance to fit into society,
and claim my place amongst other adults
I stand before you a husk of who I wished to be
having become Society’s Whore.

May you always be true to yourself, whoever you are...
