Awake
Eyes move rapidly
To the right
To the left
What is this?
Where am I?
Shackled to dusty dungeon posts
Am I in Hell?
Or is this just
The bastard's cell?
I can't tell
Must fish for something
A key on this cement floor
With one arm free
All I feel is bitter cold
All I see is nowhere to go
All I know is nothing
Panic
Panic
Panic
How do I survive?
Body shaking
Heartbeat echoes
Drugged
Stabbed in the arm
By this bastard's
Heroine
Saving nothing
Destroying everything
I am a bank
Withdrawing previously unneeded necessity
Depositing vomit in the stale
Dank corner of this
Prize on concrete
I wither
Immobile
I look at death
And I kiss it
Without affection
But with confidence
It will not get me
And I will tease it
Undoubtedly
Until I am found
Though I am not lost
Captured
Duped
Disfigured
Downward spiraling
Going inane
Earnest clown without visible audience
Is this someone's game?
To this thirst
This starvation
I call on the impossible
Instead of breaking these chains
I will break this post
Determined
Willed by feint breaths
One more bang
One more pull
Repeat
One more bang
One more pull
Repeat
One more bang
One more pull
Repeat
One more bang
One more pull
Last breath
