Game poem

Unalienable

Cannot remove my dear right to think
Not in the midst of the many, no no
Not in the empty of home, my own
Not in the depths of the universeTruest regards lost in reverie
Only when earnest views vex the few
Captive and marred by them, stillness heldEven with fervent desire to cede
Ne'er in the twilight of hope long lost
Ne'er in torment or set chains, head low
Ne'er when few silence my solemn voiceFor in the boundless sea, thoughts flow free
Long as the crimson cascades through me
Roseate stars of the mind will glow
