Hope drowns inside this ceiling within
Held down by nothing
At life's crossroads again
Creeping silently it begins
Shadowing all that exists
Cradled inside the fight
The harrowing shame of mine
Forced into suffering
No longer pleading
No longer held under
Taking back remorse
Won't forget what it came for
This noose hangs loose as it slips free
At crossroads again
Silently it begins
My burdened entity
Insanely pacing
Mindlessly fading
Strenuous ties bind me inside
