This silent suffocation of the mind


This silent suffocation of the mind 

Won’t lift its vile

This glaze of stale air trap movement 

Spikes bails into feet when stepping forward 

Leaving bloody footprints to dwell on 

The Greatest accelerator is your greatest enemy 

Bind by mind

Lifted by fate

And trapped by failure
