This house, my senile cage, my belittling chains This house, my strangling gag This house, freedom is mythical This house, tearing the littlest of my escapes This house, making me ponder my next breaths This house, where my tears are insipid This house, where my cries are inane This house, my nightmares' tender handiwork This house, where I'm the nemesis This house, my fated funeral flower This house, the gravestone of an impending exigency.
