Forfeiture

Languishing
in melancholy's basement
phobia's skulls
clutter mind.

Realization's crucifix
glows in darkness,
inspiring transcendence's nightmares.

Lungs exhale apprehensions,
spirit forfeits morgue anticipations
rises as dove
embracing sacrifice
of imprisoning paranoia.

Discovering deliver within,
resurrected faith
sees Gospel's truth.
