Slaving Without Redemption
It is a messenger
To the most prestigious of all royalties
Cloaked in velvet and decked out in honor
Awaiting fate dutifully
It is a stew
Boiled, sometimes overcooked
Mixed with savory secrets
Mouth watering but heart-stomping
It is a butterfly
Floating free and endless
Anomalous in its own right
Ambitions tickling the stars
It is a ball of yarn
Comforting yet bursting with expectations
Unraveling utmost beauty
And spun into the colors of the world
It is a puppy
Stumbling around aimlessly
Packed with life and life's energy
Hope singing in its name
It is silent, ordinary even
Cowering under the manipulative depth of another
So precious yet underrated
It is my pen
Iced and stiff
Revealing. Still tender on my bleak skin
Slaving without redemption

It's as if you are moving forward with all these things around you, whether they be worth living for or worth dying for.
I'm not sure...
But I love the structure and vocabulary.
