Challenged Sobriety
What nameless grievance I perceive
That does me wholly so deceive
Sitting squarely on rounded shoulders
Stiff with tension, hard as boulders
Diminished foresight, less appreciation
Searching for my own salvation
Perpetual thoughts, thus increasing
Revolving spirals so unceasing
Pelting my resistance with anxiety
Challenging intentional, my sobriety
That which so intrigues my will
Intentional desires I must fulfill
That veiled circumference I portray
When it is myself, I do betray
That sentinel has run amok
Causing me to come unstuck
It has been rumored, so they say
That I have come a long, long way
Shining through with metallic glow
Putting on a radiant show
From aerial heights looking down
Watching for me to sink and drown
Steeling myself for all its worth
For that promise of my rebirth
