Beat by beat, a pounding upon a cage

Deafened by red and darkness.

A cage, hollowed and grey,

the sounds of chains ever constant.

Beat upon beat, shackles of softness hit against the cage -

A squishy iron pair of shackles.

Deafened by the warm blanket.

Beauty in blissfulness, a flash of color!

Blind are those that see it,

Burdened are those that bear it,

Free is everyone that owns it.

Both abstract, yet a constant delusion 'fore our eyes stands one.

Lost and confused, corrupted; The other.

Nature, a desire, a sin -

Influences from far beyond.

Sadness, doubt and horror -

A clouding of a warm-cold cover, blackened by abstractness.

Touching the center of my being,

Soft screams shout.

Looking into the clouding, the flashes of color,

loud horrors and nightmares lurk,

vanishing, and becoming a new.

All deafened by a cold abyss, deep inside me.

An accepted aid, to all -

Those of blissful knowledge and benevolent nature

but lost in coldness.

Lost within their own cage,

pounding their cage for help, forever dormant inside.
