Whisper something to me so I can hear your voice nI’m pushing you away, my will be done, it is my choice nYou sing to me in inky black with tendrils flailing wildly nYet I remain in solid stone, no force on earth will move me nnWhy does it seem that all is slipping further from me? nI build and build and reaching up my arms can not reach anything nGive me something, anything nWhy is it bleak and barren nDon’t I deserve the world after building building building? nYou dangle happiness before me yet keep it out of reach nMy well is dry and still I try to fill it up I seek and seek and seek nNothing lasts except the empty swallowing my soul nBut I will rise above this world and I will fill my holes nnmy heart and soul belong to me, I am my own nMy own my own nnI am a fire nI eat the world and defecate the shell
