Unforgiving

Life can be unruling.
As I slither threw it's paths.
Nonpermitting obsticles clutter.
Tieing together a web.
Unbreakable strands of injustice.
Restraining my attempts to pass.

My teath can not break.
My claws can not slash.
My rage is held captive.

Countless impenetrable challenges.
Blood soaked traps smile.
Exposing vulnerability.
Seducing my desire to explore.
Exploiting my will to move forward.
Daring me to venture on.

I am aware of what is to come.
I offer my happiness for passage
I offer my heart for death.
I offer my soul for peace.
