Crown

you can’t save yourself from yourself
deny the day firmament of the night
futile efforts
son of man
nothing is real you anymore
but the wall
the stone of your face
the circle of death in every path you take
you alone
are following the last days with nails in your hands
look
she might have an answer
and take away the pain
crown you earned
Nevertheless think twice before giving up control
of the living blood you are
for Christ’s sake
let the rage of a wild animal
caught in a mortal snare
not the silence of the darkest hour
be the sign of change
