The Appeasing Contortionists
the appeasing contortionists....
always distorting
always twisting
in order to fit in
preconceived mold
the appeasing contortionists....
on a constant quest to find
a new way to pacify swings
in mood by going along with
versions of should's and should not's
the appeasing contortionists....
became burdensome to the heart
oppressing the spirit underneath
the massive weight of swings in mood
the appeasing contortionists....
never able to obtain peace
never able to create peace within the
troubled waters that separate
the appeasing contortionists....
