Simple to think of others well being,
forgetfulness grows to fleeing,
less time gripping torturous feelings,
yet,
night terrors remain staples in dreaming;

None have been crueler to mine -
than myself,
ton of rock shoved with intent to crush spine,
fighting down to nail quick... to unsuccessful escape nor repel;

A lone thought beckons ears,
scavenging out averse tears,
begging I carry less fear,
in whom may witness pupils sear,
strength can go only so far towards atmosphere;

so...
go ahead
&
set down another's weight,
it's not engrafted towards own fate,
for one master seeks to walk through encased gate.
