Wendy Bureau - Delusions Of Grandeur

2014-11-08 15

O' darkened shadow'd silhouette
Concise, precise and wise
Tiptoeing through existence
Draped in translucent disguise

Disguised delusions of grandeur
Mistaken by mistakes
A promised personality
Consumed, eaten by false traits

Traits condemned by society
Cradled by sufficient hands
A turning point, a milestone?
An unjust act, no reprimand

Reprimand, reprehend or represent
To whom, or what, and why?
My confusion, postpartum delusion
Concealed, unrevealed a silent cry

Cry upon dead and deafened ears
Like Braille without fingertips
Exhaustion spills from tear ducts
Whilst red wine, my mouth, it sips

Sipping, savagely swallowing
Gluttony, a deadly sin
Repulsive, repugnant puking
Luscious lips, curled in grin

O' darkened shadow'd silhouette
Concise, precise and wise
Reveal unto me your secrets
Shed your skin disguise
