Dystopian Dignity

Sweeping through what once was mine Gazing at this ravaged shrine Composing the vitals in thoughts divine Cut my losses and bleed through time Here I'll stand along these lines Chimerical dreams in the hands of Morpheus Acidic tears that corrode the capricious Inscrutable plans that defy the obvious Vanishing ties that remove the analogous A grudge in perfection, deception, insidious Volatile remarks that hold me in check If I may be so bold, my tongue is direct A propensity for temper, yet I am select Now I'll take my leave, sabbatical, reflect What is not right, is left and a wreck Developing memories of my past Implausible interjections that speak to the last Feral remarks that hold tight and hold fast I bow to you, grief, for I've been outclassed A terse line of humor that leaves them aghast Clandestine demons that dwell in my brain Delusion of wonder, they're one and the same Enclose the clairvoyant, set free the deranged What I have lost is now mine in shame Forthwith I give you my word, I'll be back again
