To set free.
Emancipation from thoughtless seed
Destiny's plead
Vanity's endless need
the Projection portrayed
the silvered dawn's delay
the Embittered lies
celebrated compromise
hell's hallowed guest
sacred rest
knowing I didn't do my best
Mortgaged soul
the broken bowl
the depth's of shallow
the mighty dead wood hollow
the tyrants dead stare
costly nightbird fare
the Pharoh's dream
river of extreme
the queen of diamonds affluent fold
headstones cold
fair-weathered friends
things I didn't know then
things I know now
things felt but not knowing how
saying goodbye
and the closing of the eye.
EMANCIPATION
