Token white whale,
Epic fail.
Insert cliché here-

A hostage of fear,
Victim of the mirror,
Condition severe.
The end is near-

A sacrificial lamb
Creature of the damned,
Equivalent of spam.
Bursting with nothingness-

A martyr who's blameless,
Hopelessly aimless,
Unpainted canvas.
An animated carcass.

A cautionary tale
Token white whale,
Epic fail.
Insert cliché here-

A hostage of fear,
Victim of the mirror,
Condition severe.
The end is near-

A sacrificial lamb
Creature of the damned,
Equivalent of spam.
Bursting with nothingness-

A martyr who's blameless,
Hopelessly aimless,
Unpainted canvas.
An animated carcass.
