Coulds, woulds sustain who never, ever give their all;
Perished worth awaits who strives hard
But takes the final fall.
-
Scars spawn compassion; fear ravishes the mind.
Spared I several striving psychoes
Who'd left their minds behind.
-
Snarling cliques surround me,
Drunk in rite and
Eager to abuse.
Trappings, tones and signals constrict
All who aspire true.
-
Skulking, evading fierce failure's piercing rays,
Limitation tamed my surgence,
Consumed me in its maze.
-
Stringent ideals made me cower from defeat;
Self-immersion made me morbid,
Inert, hypoxic peat.
-
Time's tyrannic trample
Thunders close and
Makes me cease to care;
Cracks in my defences dilate,
Suppressions start to flare.
-
Endangered ego suffocates all vibrant seeds;
Fighting for another frees me
From claustrophobic weeds.
-
Self-conscience cast out, tiny grains accumulate;
Dormant neurons rise and ride free
And veins newly dilate.
-
Deep in dream remember
Heroes past and
Purified archetypes;
Stout and gallant spines expanding
Ascend into the skies.
-
Shattered, my shackles scatter wide and atomize.
Victory resurgent reclaims
Its self-surpassing prize.
-
Shame extirpated, weighty burdens turned to air,
Ego re-emerges smugly,
The glory feast to share.
