The Treasury

And if life is
as impossible
as it looks to me,
I've got to say,
I'm afraid to live it,
demons always at my
heels, trying to rip me
apart.
      will the sulfur
                choke me,
the fire burn me?
               will I be
  locked tightly
within a layer of crystalline ice?
          if I allow myself
                to love,
    won't I be punished?
                 won't this whip
     leave red-letter
          scarlet scars
                 upon my heart?
       do I want to move
        
                      forward?
           this blockade
                       is so long,
                              so strong,
      built upon stone with super-sand...
                                      can I break it?

A/N: The title isn't supposed to make sense.  Only my closest friends will understand.
