Tread lightly I will,
For this sleeping giant inside is alive and well.
Defeat an impossibility,
I will try still.

Once on the surface... apparent and true,
Sunk now below, waiting for fuel.
Steal away tinder, please God no sparks,
With endless blood in the water, it circles me like sharks.

Behold! New life! Could this be the end?
The end of this Hell, this monstrous trend?
Ascension of spirit, elevate hope...
Slowly i climb, up this perilous *****.
The apex elusive, a perpetual mount.
Strength beyond strength, I begin to discount.
Stuck in this purgatory, of despair and bliss.
I will press on, this giant can't win.
