These four walls feel suffocating
But the outside is deafening
Maybe that's the wrong way
One the other, the other the one
I can feel the words form
And then fall or fail or fail and fall
I tried to kill them. No survivors
An offering to me
From the character that lives
If only within the
Though that sounds clichéd
But no offering has been made
Would the offering settle
My acattorshit number
As the third of the sixth
Looms heavy
Unavoidable destination
I wish for the non-linear
But brave it I must
Until then I will continue
To request offerings
In blood and ink
