All was well
Until it was not
Why do I suffer now?
Am I doomed to rot?


Bombarded by thoughts
Fly buzzing around light
Caged in prison walls
Without a hope in sight.


I was the dancing rain
And the blazing fire
How I became a pond
When river was the desire.


Highflier once kissing skies
Mired now in those threads
Walking puppet but stuck
In a pit of thorny beds.


Should I continue how?
A wind came whispering
Shed the prison foundations
And enjoy life's pudding.


Suffering ever present
Illusions masked as halo
Pain being excruciating now
Revealed hidden volcano.


Quenching the thirst
Haven built with lust
Does iron kept unchecked
Not get eaten by rust?


Acknowledge, acknowledge
The fear to unlock
For it is the only key
To open the lock


Suffer more or less
Depends on you
Observing it however
Will sail you through.


Beware of braking midway
You will only suffer more
For the crumbling foundations
Won't be a safe haven anymore.


Don't mistake it to be easy
The path of flowers and thorns
You must treat them alike
To experience life's precious forms.
