I've seen the teratophage, and
I am greater for the experience.
Jabbing it in the pons, I
Felt for the trail I'd left
Down the side of the wall, and
I climbed it back to life.

From the abyss to the egress,
I have learned something today.
My confidence was built on shaky
Ground, but today it gains foundation.
Until then, your ephemerality,
The greatest night of my life.
