In my internal prison I am a servant to despair.
From the core of my soul sorrows are blinding me.
From out of the crevices they spring.
Engulfed in my battles of fear.
Running at full speed my thoughts are fatigued.
My escape is permanently frozen.
Is there no golden cup to quench the belligerence of time?
The reaper climbs down from his hollow throne.
