Found Poetry

The clock has struck twelve You know it deep down Deep down in your soul Because I am your soul There is no escape No matter what You are small You are weak You are a hollow shell A rusty trap I burn you You try to quell me But I smolder I flare, bright, hot, and beautiful With all your wine With all your vows and the weight of age You cannot stop me You always run You try to drown me out Still you try Still you are weak
