Autonomy, a fitting end

The cement is heavy when mixed with the loss of autonomy
It's dried around my boots; I welcome the body of water in front of me
Where my afflictions will feel each drop enter my lungs, and then I'll be free
Of the horrors, plagues, and false words, that are brought by living honestly— FML A.S.

I once tried to investigate where responsibility dwells. I found the clock quickly striking. It's loudest twelves.. But that bell, didn't stop ringing, So I could find a moment to be myself.. I am so incredibly grateful for you A.S.
