Elemental

by J James - Pisces

The euphemistic moon 
challenged me today
asked what i'd become 
how long i'd sung
for those who coward
behind unsung hearts
that remained mute
since their first
perpetual beat
since their first
fleeding thought
of this beastial thirst
for my drunken verse
and my thought 
which lays perverse
but not defenseless
to normalcy undefined
definition left behind
to burn under 
a less tactful sun
that askedme
what i was trying to prove
the audacity i had
that made the clouds go mad
the audacity i had 
to try to expose those hearts
that functioned so much better
in the dark
the mass production of
tangible doll parts
made with detachable faults
playtime gone wrong...
during recess i realized
how arrogant you've become
to take it upon yourself
to say when the day's over
maybe the sun
how one more thing to say
maybe this time
the sun will sing me a song 
you never gave me 
a chance to hear
deaf and dumb while
you cower behind a day 
i never lived
while i watched a sun 
that never set
while i was blinded
by a moon that never shone
i became a person
that wasnt a person at all
i was and still am
the heart that remains unsung...
