Don'T Let Them Cast Ceilings!

A piece of me, forged from molten memories.. of patchwork stability Changes of scenery....haggard, humble backdrops Questionable casts of characters... Scripts written in off-color obscenity and derangement An old soul removed from a separate caste resided within the constructs of this dramatization Beyond the tangible crystallization...was an awareness ...an inexplicable aptitude removed from this environment Manifesting without much notice, slipping back through the cracks. Potential never surfacing as we braced for the Life we're dealt That corner conscienceness ever aware of this conundrum Small child never understanding a bitter undercurrent ...had no grasp on the inner cursing of a bad hand. Every dampening disappointment... left residual resentment for squandered possibility Every predetermined scenario left residual resentment for a roadmap doomed to failure These children born to constrictive conditions... Blessed with Intangibles that transcend Enabling them to conquer a meager existence Set back only by the world they're brought into Abusive and spiteful...determined to Anchor Wanting of nothing but casting invisible ceilings leaving a legacy of limitation... Stubbornly they obsess on trapping their offspring Never let them cast ceilings.....confining you to a dim room

I didn't really understand the first couple stanzas (although they're beautiful! "Molten memories" for example! It makes me think of liquid gold) But the last line totally sounds like it could be written to me... it means that much. I won't be confined to that dim room... haha, whatever you originally meant. This is beautiful, and you have an awesome mastery of language. I love the words you use (so don't be surprised if they start showing up in my poetry! Molten! Haha)
