I find myself trapped,
As I slowly regain my sense,
And breathe in the murky stench,
Of a deserted, dingy place.
…
I lull in and out of oblivion,
As a rancour builds up within,
And try to move my limbs barely,
As I feel the blood flow ebbing.
…
I try to steady my rampant thoughts,
As I try to wriggle free of these chains,
And look past the darkness and rust,
To where the sunshine seeps in.
…
But once again, the pallor sets in,
The manacles tighten slow,
As you pull the veil,
And take away my liberating glow!
