A connection frail, yet refuses to sever
Biding time, made to wait forever
Layers of self-apathy, built up over time
Calcified, life buried within, fails to climb
From inside, a cocoon that protects and nurtures
In reality, a bubble that traps and tortures
Soul demands fight, a fiery desire to egress
Yet chained, embodied, a statue hopeless
Momentarily found a footing, again in a freefall
Unjust the capture, abhorrent the thrall
Screams drown into void, no one to abet
Rooted introverts, devoid of a safety net
Unsheathe the dagger, summon strength to peirce
Stop staring at the incoming abyss, plunge it fierce
Steady now, ascension will begin eventually
Exigency, pause the disintegration imminently
Self preservation is autonomic, I take no pride
Like a patient stopped, from attempted suicide
Exhausted, spent, the ceaseless clashes
Far from “phoenix rising from the ashes”
Strenuous the act, doesn’t feel like a rebirth
Bloodless battle, still questioning self-worth
Putting myself together, bit by bit
Blood binding the flesh, drop by drop
Statue remains motionless, cracks begun to appear
Rebel inside stirred into sun, the will rose sheer
Light breaks through, a triumphant reprise
Or this flame’s last flickr, an untimely demise
