Symphony of Striving
Under The Floorboards / 7DS
In the spectral grotto of indolence
where exertion breathes its last,
we labor under the crimson cast–
seraphs of industry
in a dying world.
Every chore a titan’s burden.
Each obligation met with dread.
I am Diligence,
a battlefield where victories are bled.
In those moments of tormenting toil
where sweat paints furrowed brows,
we battle for a flicker of hope
in the oppressive present’s drowse.
Each dream chased through tangled nightmares,
yearning to be free.
Amidst this heart of Diligence
strength finds rebirth.
Stoic might in labor
silently sings beneath the blood-ruby glow.
Each moment clung to like a precious relic.
Every breath a mournful sigh.
Dawn fractures gently
over obligations cherished amidst fear-streaked gore.
Strolling through bloody aftermath
with dread held at bay by the will to explore.
In the ensuing quiet
where effort collapses exhaustedly,
I am Diligence–
the undying spirit that haunts
this desolate landscape eternally.
A symphony of striving.
A testament to the will
to forever be free.
