Thoughts, dreams and
aspirations, stored in the depths
of a knowledge fountain
rich with kempt wilderness;
drifting through
a free-falling abyss of wisdom
and soaring through a power high,
on the adrenaline
that comes with freedom.
Now, a cavity ridden shell,
clogged with thick smoke,
staining the interior clarity.
Punctured by the monster
who preys on old age,
eating and eating
but starving for the next memory.
