Dreadful reality tailored cognizantly
Vacillating stance to heighten the blaze
To strive- notwithstanding labor or length
On relinquish at the mercy of sanguinity.
An idealistic notion of one’s ideal self
A thread through the labyrinth of intricate maze
Spun from tangled skien of echoes
With footsteps weighing bygone self.
