Breaking in Half

I am breaking in half listening to the situation.
Why go against what you know is true for you
Just because some fearful voice doesn't shut up.
Old conventions win the race and tug you across the finish line.
You look back at the old life with a sense of loss.
The knowing this is all a manipulation you have fallen for is loud
Though not loud enough for you to take as important.
Years later the web has been weaved around you even tighter
Not yet at a point of suffocation and the only path you see is moving you there

Deceptions are beautifully crafted,
Dressed in wedding dresses and luxury cars.
The greatest desire is to get yours.
Some minds and bodies may incur a loss of their dreams feeding you,
As they have fallen for your lies
Which you, yourself, believed were truth,
Because you lack the necessary awareness
About yourself and your mechanism,
And they don't want to see you as you are,
Because they, too, are in need of something
That is unclear to them.

And so the energies intertwine and spiral down
Crawling, like a turtle, into darkness
Created by you.

And the next generation learns from this behavior
Repeating the cycle
Endlessly.
