Dread
I am lifting a mountain Holding back the tide My back pressed against the door From a killer trying to take my life I am holding off his blade Inches from my heart On the brink of a waterfall With my ship breaking apart I see beneath the ground I stand To a bottomless pit Continue reading

Green Shoots
Green shoots So fragile Freedom’s growth So gradual Waves of pain Rush over my soul Tear up the shoots Stir up the soil But the roots will remain They are dug in deep They begin to regrow Inch by inch they creep Pain will come again But they always survive These roots are stubborn They Continue reading

The Past’s Claws
The past has claws And an iron-tight grip It is a venus flytrap A bottomless pit I have felt its touch A cold shiver in the night It lurks in my mind Hidden just out of sight It shadows my day A sentient cloud Spawning in the sky Whenever I feel proud It has laid Continue reading
