Ossuary

A creature washed up on the shore
A body dense, swollen, and leaking
A sight not meant for the meek
Through its stare it can devour everything
Attempts to repress in vain
Casting a shadow as far as one can see

Sleeping awake, benighted in day
Overthrow the self, we commiserate
Outgrow the fear rooted in bone
The truth in the shroud is all that we own
Wake up in absence of ego and shame
Precipice enlightened, swallow the reigns
Admit what you've sown, existence in dirt
The choice to accept is all that is left
All that is left
