Oppression 

is never packaged as

UGLY

 

In the beginning

It is enticing, dream-speaking

language

 that invokes beauty and passion

 

It is the one thing you give yourself–

Your HEART to–

 

In this broken world–

the finer things are packaged in deception

 

Anything, in this world,

you give your heart to

controls you

 

The end result

is

 always

oppression
