They seek that which most terrifies and causes all my limbs to tremble,
the terror lies trapped in the skin welded to the soul, remains
washing in and out like an unsteady stare
with eyes inside kept away beneath stirred waters
sitting silent as a prisoner for treason it swallows
thoughts and the mind; the senses devoured
my very own freedom tied to this coward, mindless
without breathe it remains focused and hidden
always confused unaware of its grasp
this terror threatens life, yet sustains
only like an abandoned sunken ship
keeping still and rich, it must be explored.
