No longer cloistered within pain
Afflictions peeled off like false skin
Now sunlit of admittance sane
I strive for more than mundane win
Afflictions peeled off like false skin
As darkness is assailed this night
I strive for more than mundane win
Attacked by my own breath so tight
As darkness is assailed this night
Now sunlit of admittance sane
Attacked by my own breath so tight
No longer cloistered within pain

new second rhyme as BCBC, CDCD. The first line of the series recurs as the last line of the closing
quatrain, and third line of the poem recurs as the second line of the closing quatrain, rhyming ZAZA.
