Worthless
Worthless
Alone in the crystal cave
Which passage should I take,
To try to escape
Are the crystals worth a life
Readings and myths spread to entice
The many hungry with a dream
Forbidden entries for those who scheme
I’m one of them, I've made it in
But now I’m trapped, air so thin
I’ll lay amongst bones of the unknown
With pockets of crystals,
my worthless chisel
A graveyard for the wealthy, yet a death so petty
A pile of bones wait to be found
By others enticed by all readings around
