Bindings

Eyes pierce flesh and peer within

They know

They see

They judge

They recoil

Below

I flee

I trudge

To uncoil

These contorted bindings of my own delusion

Sound offers no solution

I pity my worth

I escape to seclusion

I pierce my soul and peer within

I know

I see

I judge

I recoil

Death throes

Passing whispers

A burgeoning grudge

This mortal coil

Has taken so much from me

I will secure myself

No more will delusion strike its fancies

No more will pity find a qualm

No more will death erode

I will embrace the cold

And free myself

From these

Bindings
