Analysis of Second Class Citizen
The facade laments, but is revoked
yet fluid
As surface tension remains erect
Lily blossoms move lightly
Never quite causing a ripple on the surface of the seas
Let the abyss Growl
the anticipation to move
to their primordial resting place
Pressured never allowing to shift
From there the tide feels as soft as a breeze
Never really quenching the need for something
A little deeper
