Laure Pierce
The unbroken color a sea of staunchness. An arrow that points down to the path of expected contribution with false hopes tie of appearance is a binding of servitude. A dictation that encloses and segregates to respective bins a lost future a lost breath. Surely it is a lure of formality but a con game at its finest. It’s the fence between 360-degree movement and a flat plane. Pull tighter perfectly steady no change is acceptable. A shallow silken disillusion to secure blocks of repetitive movement in line with a countless string of contractual adherence never leaving forever bound endlessly tied until divergence comes.
A deluge of duty a symbol of conformity surrendering to the closure on the neck. May be survival but is it.
