It’s somewhat based off of one of my character’s! I probably should’ve mentioned that in the post, I forgot that some parts wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense. Thanks very much for the feedback though!

Hello,

I love some of the word choices you've used! However, I must confess that I'm not to sure what this poem is about? 

HOWEVER

I really love the line

 'plastic crown and jewels lock up by nuts and bolts'

To me it reminds the reader that riches and luxuries are what people perceive and isn't always down to traditional fixations. Not if that was what you're going for but I truly love that line! 

:))

Wow, I didn't expect it, but yeah, such a great read!, I feel once you get into your poem deeper, it just keeps on opening up amd giving me different feelings as we go deeper into it🙌

Your interpretation is actually pretty close for what I was trying to go for!

Oh wow!, My interpretation might be completely off, but what I am getting is hints of generational trauma and the hypocrisy of people in certain fields, maybe how the hypocrisy in performing their job to the fullest(Counterfeit priestess) and the fact that because of this there is a sort of paradoxical innocence (fake innocence that seems to be real but in turn seems to feel more fake and the cycle continues) that in the end results in generational trauma that ends up repeating this cycle.

Please do correct me if my interpretation seems to be completely off, Great read must say!

And a paradox of Ignorance, only the un-most Learned un-know!

When we become unfixed, unhinged, off the hook, off the—

Unchained...

We begin our spiralling.

I love your creation for who it shows you to be.

Generational fixations going
‘round and ‘round on a carousel,
protection of the dynasty they created,
an array of moonbeams reflecting off fake mirrors,
plastic crown and jewels locked up with nuts and bolts - inescapable truths are easily erased - plastered smiles encrypt the icy maiden’s scheme

What could bring a woman of such status to be engulfed in brutal guilt? 
Found family stumbling into hastily dug tombs. 
A paradox of innocence, 
catacombs haunting a counterfeit priestess;
her generational fixations only continuing ‘round the carousel of vengeance.

(Quick note that this is semi-based on one of my characters, so there is a possibility for some miscommunication/confusion. Sorry about that!)
