Hear* my voice
Cascading like an avalanche
A landslide absent of choice
Ready to take a chance
See my reflection
Fading in the ripples
As I seek correction
That is expected to *******
Feel my heartbeat
Playing a rhythm for my soul
Which had long-succumbed to the heat
Of life's burning coals
Taste my pain
Voiced with a cry
As I tug at my chains
Offering my alibi
"I am alive"
