    <div class="prose poem">
<p>Wake up, eat, sleep, repeat.
Wake up, eat, sleep, repeat.
Wake up, eat, sleep, repeat.</p>
<p>Every day's a gray pebble on a gravel path,
My future subject to the devil's wrath.</p>
<p>Hope—forget hope.</p>
<p>If I had a dollar for every time I hoped,
Then I'd be broke.</p>
<p>Oh wait—broke. I am broke,
Almost like my wallet had a stroke.</p>
<p>But scream—scream at me some more,
As if I like standing by while my destiny gets choked,
While I stay cloaked.</p>
<p>Now you've got me provoked.</p>
<p>Four-fourths of my life spent a slave—
If only I could rent freedom for a day,
I'd stay away.</p>
<p>Away from that ravenous wolf,
Away from that venomous snake,
While desire pursues me like fleeting fire.</p>
<p>Once, I carried a thorn in my side,
Now, I'm a battered vase inside.</p>
<p>Sometimes you must get shattered
To let the light abide.</p>
