Screaming inside yet sitting stoic and bolt upright
Crying from within yet dry as a desert to every sight without
An Alcazar that keeps out help, heart and happiness
A dangerous quicksand that keeps beating a hasty retreat
Immune to coercion, impervious to cajoling and inured to chaos
Closed to reasoning and allergic to the joys of life
An enigma, a riddle, and a jigsaw puzzle never amenable for solving
Obstinate, helpless, remote and reclusive
P.A.T.E.R
