Carefully ushered
Into a silent and bitter embrace
Obscured and enveloped
By a season of sorrows

Unfazed on the surface
In a war-like grin
As the world unfolds from within

Death rattles
All throughout my words
The frail narratives I spin
From the pits of despair

So desperately
Forceful
At a mad man’s hands
At disarray’s whim
Unrepentant, undisclosed
