WITHIN THESE WALLS
The sun recalls from blackest night
What sleeps in silent rage
Reclaims the color, the source, the motive
Illuminates the change
The choice to rise, the choice to fall
The decisions to choose our fate
Within these walls a beast resides
Undeterred, relentless, uncaged
What fuels its hunger isn’t always known
But each day it surely must eat
Will it feast on the burdens of moments past
Or will it devour the abundance that lies at its feet
Attack with vengeance what confines you
Fight the whispers of mediocrity
Reclaim your place, your right, your authority
To gorge at the tables of plenty
