Perpetuate
Self-assigned isolation
Prescribed to better oneself
My time I hoard with greedy precision
Batting away all who would approach
My heart beats on despite my will
Supplicate for knowledge that burns me still
From the flames of anguish I emerge anew
Weary and beaten with a blackened hue
Run away my love. Flee from me forever
Run to find your life’s hidden treasures
I have nothing old, nothing new to give
Just another daily dose of hopelessness.
