Poem: Won

I am wan.

Pale-faced and shrivled, nothing left but a hole
Alone with myself, a figure of solitude
Fully encased in a thick, constrictive shell, meek as a mite
While inside my mind inflames to the strenuous strain
Grating away as I compress down low to rest

Break the flow of pain, let it wash out
My self begins to emit a change, magnified by a
mere roar
A magnificent change, a time to begin myself
Shhh-out against the pain to force a break

Wrest myself up high as I come, pressed with great
Strength stemming from my mind aflame with wise wile
Might like a mean, well-constructed truck driven in a caged fool
Too, solid, my figure alone
Whole, yet left everything shifted and facing no pale

I am one.
