I was not endowed

I sputter and spin within my own circles of thought
Able to construct something that breaks through
My own spiderweb, casting across deep seas
wriggling myself from the hooks that I have so deeply embedded
Across my arm that I cannot stop choking my eyes
They spring upon me like ravens holding candlelight
Illuminating this place as if I was your wooden toy
Made to fill the mouths of a hundred strangers
That was never able to make me a human boy
Their faces like hearts of iron bleeding into me
Not the folks that make the heart grow fonder
And yet you cannot see that I am yet undone
And yet I cannot master your talents
Their puncture my lungs and thoroughly drown me
This brightness is so horrific to me nowadays
The possession is no longer mine
As things taken, I regret this most
And I shall still be the one who was cursed with the charm 
For setting his own demise upon by the willingness of heart matters.
