I’m watching myself fall.

As their sockets tighten 

My eyes remain penned.

The shards in my mind 

Have scarred me away 

I had dreamt to find

Now I am bound to stay.

Kept it choked, 

I drowned my breath 

Now I leave my throat

Gasping in the depths. 

Littered with remnants 

Embers still threatening.

The world now a cage,

More bars in its cell 

Every war it waged.

Be my escape,

Rescue my faith.

Entrapping patterns

At the hide of my face.

These choking cycles  

Have murdered my rest

Even my breath wants out of my chest.
