I fear I must
Each day I arise
Destined to lurk
Where I truly despise

This ceaseless role
In which I reside
Devours my all
As stillness subsides

Upon the brink
Of utter despair
I voyage untrue
Deprived of care

Withdrawn I fold
In the ways of bliss
A stark luxury I’ve dubbed my own

Withdrawn I fold
In an empty trove
Coiling the dreams I have not sown
