To Whom Do I Write?

by @ethan-titus

To whom do I write about life's blight? Is it for you, happenstance that you've read? It is for myself, trying to overcome my inner dread On myself I have placed these chains, afraid to let myself sore I can't take it, I'm done, these shackles must be no more My heart pounds rapidly with anticipation I'll stand up proud and announce myself before a nation If death becomes me then I shall languish no more Truly it is better than being Suffering's personal whore I'll follow the path of Apollo and bring myself to the sun The burns are as nothing, taking a chance to have some fun Seek not to return me to a life bound by shackle and chain No longer will I live a life entrenched in pain
