Tightly clenched the fist shakes
Never steady like a nail
Blood curdles through the veins
Self-torturous it won’t fail

Keep still to breathe
Inhale the oxidation of life
Flowing molecularly steady
Before the shattered knife

But why negativity it remains
Lingers closely by the trees
Hovering over the city
Lacking soulfulness to squeeze

One refrains from the nuisance
Though it fights back with a rage
No world is perfect
Keep me locked in this cage
