Poem: Bound

Updated: Mar 27, 2021

How many times must we play this game?

Running in circles getting nowhere

Chasing laughter and rainbows

Suckling on happy pills

For a momentary thrill.


Have you glimpsed beyond the rainbow

If you knew would you swallow

this honey you call poison

Would you endure?

For the ecstasy that follows

Like Marion and her promise of heaven.


Do you really long for joy?

Are you ready to pay the price?

Are you strong enough to fight?

the candyman this time.


Do you want to face your foe?

Do you really want to know?

Or will you choose to run and hide?

With the mirror by your side.
