Spell is Broken(An Original Poem)

9 years trapped in a fountain
that oozed grim and grime
I caught an allergy
might have been mold filth
Definitely not more diabolic
than landlord witch queen
She slithers every syllable
but can't change her skin
I endured learned and thrived
I wrote to stay awake
Now I sleep in the city
still writing with my eyes wide open
Things end when the time is complete
I knew that then but doubt is insidious
I broke my body many times
but kept my mind evolved
I howled with my muse
Cathartic excess demon exorcist
Freedom much more costly for poets
but worth every demon released
Is how spells get broken
by a mad persistent resistance
I kept my life burning like a meteor
seconds before it burns out forever

Sort:  

Sho; intense.... had me biting my lip there...

:D
