Unfinished tasks running stagnant

Body falling apart in fragments

Suffering fate no longer humane

Dragging about life’s endless chain

Forged with the sins of man and his mind

Ego inflated, dilated, unkind

Donning a hollow, negative mask

Evil has conquered this one final task

While laughing at you with nary a care

He’s trapped you inside these bonds that you wear

For they will continue to burden and drain

And rust as you pull against agonizing pain

No escape can you find as your ego deflates

Trying again to be human, too little, too late
