Bent like a snake,

You sit surrounding me,

Permeating my will.

Heart like a river,

Flowing like the Nile,

Feeding the sea above.

I want to crush you,

But I know I’ll drown.

Your cage is a scaffold

Upholding this prison.

But where are the guards,

And where is the fence?

How can I escape freedom

To move, to feel, to think?

Quicksilver goliath:

Monstrous and imposing,

But unable to be grasped.

Freeze-frame this moment;

Break it like a mirror.

Then I can cut you.

Drain the force I feel.
