InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Poetry of the Sengoku Jidai ❯ The Dungeon ( Chapter 10 )

[ A - All Readers ]

The Dungeon
 
 
I cannot move and the
weight of me pulls
into the earth, pressing me down.
 
So many things I should do,
experiment, explore…
grow, change, move, want…
 
But the darkness and drain
hold me fast, pinned
to myself and my everchanging body.
 
Desire sleeps in my heart
and briefly I am free of it,
free of everything but myself.
 
Even the freedom
does not please me and I
wallow in the arms and legs of my existence.
 
Tomorrow the sun will come up,
ambition will surge through me
again and I will slither and roll my way back into the world.
