The Attempt

What’s in that soul of yours
What seems like darkness with so many doors

Left for ages unattended
Monsters unleashed, much splendid!

Floating on their delicious lies
Sight no more, vacant eyes

The torch is yours to wield, so wield
What better attack than to shield!

Inner sanctum, make up my mind
Your essence toils under this bind

Of truths unsung
And a future flung

To the abyss of servitude
A life miserably screwed

Wake up and take reign
Least it stays an eternal rain

The time comes not when the hand is ready
For the storm of life is never steady

Attempt, attempt and perish in the attempt
What remains is defiance, a growling contempt

I’ll stray again of that I am sure
To stray on the path of attempt is a gift so pure
