Pretty little lives
built within cages of social standard
emotions hidden heretofore
norms of behavior leaving marred masks
and flecks on porcelain skin
for judicious judgments
by our phony friends
and narcissistic neighbors
to be real requires
no, does demand
that ourselves open
past these trite trappings
to a livid life
without Gods Government or Guarantee.

Very Good Nick. I would change the breaks but not one word if this were mine. I really do like it. Fantastic bit of resonant feedback to them who would own your inner being.
