The prodigal's dilemma
Too long trapped
Hopeless and caged
Owned and enraged
I saw a way out
Extinguished my apathy
Perfervid flames of passion ignited
Drawing me down a path
Not of my own choosing
I forgot my way
Distractions detain
A dungeon of indifference
But now I must
Grasp hold of the hope
That drew me out
In the first
Freedom from apathy
I must once more trim the wick
my own perfervid torch
must light the way
I let you draw me out
But I let your memory
Draw me back in
To the trap of indifference
(2014)
