Terror
Terrorized
Traces of escape befuddle the mind
The hand wrings forth
what the taped mouth could not endorse
The glass eyes hemorrhage
To the point of breakage
Locked jaw and gritted teeth
There is no respect to bequeath
Scalding water peels the soul
Leaving behind pails and buckets of heartless coal
Black clouds create a trapped boar
Whose cries of true outrage ooze into a muted roar
Any head would explode
In this corroded commode
Terror
Terrorized
Time to break this inauthentic bind
