My soul was empty and needed to be filled
With love or hope or something inside
More than this emptiness deepening
I inhaled fire like an exorcist
After a lifetime yet I remained unfulfilled
The years crashed upon my shores like high tide
I was cold to the call of awakening
I broke under the strain of time
And decided I could not have any more
My life was my sole possession
And it was broken to its core
Attachments and chains created bonds
I have nothing to offer and only tears
I have needs that go far beyond
Bitterness ruined my memory of the years
I lost my name
Spent sacrificing for the future
I earned my shame
No glory only now a cancerous tumor
