Literature Text

Vile, stinging suspicions
Swallow me in their vicious tales.
Temptations abound me daily
To succumb would be eternal hell.
Emerald hues blind me
Who let the monster out?
Deviously clever musings
Enable my downfall.
Halfway into cement steps
I stumble hastily back.
It's a trap!
I exclaim.
It's not worth the minuscule exultation.
Now bathing, drowning in my own making
Arcs of self hate
Run currents through damaged veins.
Slightly unbalanced
Forever deranged.
For those of you who don't know what the title means
Salience~A pronounced feature or part; a highlight.

very nice, smooth voice. The images set up were very good and fitting.
