Never questioning
But crafted within doubt
Hidden deeper than the walls
In this life pulling close
The least familiar shroud
Only to suffer when it falls
Unknowable defeat
Burn away the layers
Crawl into your failures
Clinging to the seed
Enmity will fade
Find something else to blame
This world does not match your fear
Dirt between your fingers
A memory that lingers
Within the stillness as a sinking
Never was a tide of mind
Just annoyed at your sight
Unyielding in its wreckage
Joyless in the task
Withering the hand
As it beats against the cast
Reflected in a prism
The crawl into the dirt
Begging for a witness
To acknowledge your decline
Every eye is looking inward
Unwilling to abide
Desperation deafening
Palpable it chimes
Struggling and churning
In your pending scrap of life
