I am a tormented soul
locked inside the cage of my reality

Release- but a blade away
  courage & cowardise

Will they see beyond the flesh?
  beyond the blade & blood of my release,
to the steady beet of my heart
failing under the pressure of life?

Will they see,
  when I am free
what it was that caged me?

How it was that I chose THIS excape above the rest?

I want them to 
  Taste my prison

warn them away

Love is my chains
and Hate the fire I burn in.

But what bars my way to freedom?
  the evil that put me here?

NO

my own cowardise keeps 
  me locked away in tis my Hell.

But for release--

this takes courage as well
  so...
Does it take more courage to live?
  to face the walls of pain?

or to seek the final release?
