The drowning seas of humanity

Colour me in mock humility

Scathing scars bear the affliction

Cast out upon the barren wastes

Labour for breath among fetid decay

That chokes my ice pierced heart

Within wretched despair writhe

As a feeble fly enshared

Waiting for the feeding cancer

Of ice twisted agony

In this paralysed emotion

That sustains on the solitude

Walls constructed by my fate

Begin their suffocation on me

No respite in this self styled isolation

The pain of years a burdening grief

Shadows of such sorrow beckon me

To the greeting of my life's end
