P**ce
Place me here, where I may sear.
Elation can cohere with damnation.
Apart from others, I still carry a piece of my brothers.
Congruency with myself cannot be bought from a top shelf.
Excited with hope, the last I do is mope.
Outside of my kingdom, I lose my freedom.
Finding water through inner sleuth, I disregard Ponce's Fountain of Youth.
Money does not aid the stray, so there is no price to pay.
I drift to another universe, where all would change if I pressed reverse.
Now, I would pay any pence to fly over this giant blue fence.
Denied of all, and left to fall, I hear calls, the ship horn wrawls.
