The emotion-shaping balance board
often given a wide berth
capable of such destruction
poor self worth
enormous hurt
depression
and revoltion
a reality check
such tension
or the long-awaited jolt
needed to trigger revolution
If you’re willing to let it
guide you
not abuse you
spur you on
allow the figures to seduce you
into a state of independence
backed up with wisened choices
actually following a regime
not just making the right noises
if you treat it as a friend
listen to it’s prudent voices
you’ll reach a peaceful place
where you’re not fearful
and avoid it
A state of cooperation
being valiant
not coy
then you’ll stare into the mirror
and revel in the joy
