To live outcast from your own kind
The sadness of
solemnity
To dwell inside
Your own mind
Ensnared by
sobriety

Three women
have spoken
Each wicked
as the sea

Knowledge
betrayed you

Only time now
Is left for you

Three short days
To go past

No more
No less

Left
To

Live

The author's comments:
In it's original form the text is centered so that if forms an upside down triangle. To me it gives the poem a greater sense of urgency.
