The life I lead — Or is it “led”?
A trotting steed — Where did it tread?

The soil, it slips — I wasn’t ready
Unmoored, unclipped — I’m feeling heavy

O Muse, I plead — Sing me your creed
Steady my step — Mark my blood red
Or go in my stead — Gallop with pep

Leave me to bleed — A restful end
Or simply to breathe — As my wits mend

’Til again I lead — Not the life I led
But a life freed — Untamed, undead.
