Built on Sand

Running away
Far from it all
Lying in wait
Yet riding for a fall
The line of fire denied
Exit through a sense of void inside
The entering phase complete

What lives another day
Silence — triggering
Tipping the scales
An easy prey,
Now being thrown to the wolves
Here dies another day
Guidance — withering
Shadow prevails
From sources stray,
Its life it pulls
No-man's-land
A monstrosity built on sand

Battled thought
Strength inhaled
Roles reversed
Change unveiled
Focus caught
Host exhaled
Weakness cursed

In the end when the unpleasant truth
Comes crawling out of the woodwork
Cherished illusions and attempted escapes
Turn to gleams of light in the dirt
