Vanquishing the Inner Agony

"...Sunrays scan my mind in its pangs of woe..."

Vanquishing the Inner Agony

My mind has slowly wandered in agony
To find light ensnared inside its tiny gallery,
So dense is hell in this ebony
That its pull has trapped me, a prodigy.
Light encaged within cannot outflow,
Pushing the captive light into shadow.

Blinded by my color phobia,
My mind is shaken by its tales of pathos,
While in endless fear of its own trivia.
Entangled is my mind in its petty woes
That have entrapped me in a negative debate
As I wrestle with my barbaric state.

Though shy to break into the darkness within
Sunrays scan my mind in its pangs of woe.
I must erase the darkness of an assassin
And let the sprouts of awareness tiptoe
Down my heart’s alleys to accompany me
To bestow marsh with a touch of ebony.
