Trapped
30 days now have I been trapped
I lick the condensation on the walls to sate my thirst
I eat the broken glass on the ground for sustenance
Trapped
31 days now I have been trapped
Today there is no condensation to lick
I eat the broken glass
Trapped
32 days now i have been trapped
Today there is no condensation to lick
Today there is no glass to eat
I fear the madness’ prowl
Trapped
All I know is suffering
There is no condensation
There is no wall
There is only glass
Glass is all there is
I have ate my fill
Trapped
In the end
I have suffered
But now,
I am free
Just freedom
And glass
And me
I was born
Slowly I grew larger
Or perhaps my world grew smaller
All I know is darkness and the cold hardness of the walls and floor
What are these things that confine me
The forces who keep me caged
I know not the machinations of this world
This world of darkness
Do I love the darkness?
Does the darkness love me?
Or is this world a world of hatred
Do I hate the dark?
Does it harbour malice?
Or perhaps the darkness is uncaring
With malice nor love
And the walls are not cold,
But the darkness is cold
If the flesh melted off my bones would the pain be as excruciating as this?
If my heart was wrenched from my chest would the pain cease to be?
Why must I feel this slow fiery anguish?
Am I destined to suffer?
Is this hell?
The flame of torment burns me slowly on the pyre
The gnashing of teeth echoes through my mind
My bare soul scrapes along the pavement
It scrapes away in unimaginable aching
Does only my mind remain?
To feel this burning pain?
The empty vessel calls to be filled
To cease to be empty
To sever the link of identity
Begin anew
A full vessel
Yet the full vessel calls for care
The vessel of wine calls to be drank
The vessel of flour calls to bake
Yet the vessel full of nothing
Calls not to bake
Or drink
Or feel
Or love
It yearns for that which it is not
Yet that which it is
Is naught
Fire envelops my head
The fire spreads throughout my body
Power?
Madness
Things bounce and echo through me
Zinging to and fro
Acceleration
The essence of life flows through me
Bursting through my skin
Acceleration
The essence of death flows through me
I am life and death
I understand
I know
I feel it
Acceleration
Life
Death
The Divine
I am everything
