when the brittle rose breaks off to fall
dead as hell on the tabletop
water in the vase still
and careful words celebrating her majesty
time has just come and gone
her day in the new lightbulb led life inside
on pose upon the granite quarried
a quarantined staccato slice of beauty
caged polished and left for eyes
to digest signify our ability to conquer
anything we need to
to maintain our
our, what our?
Our superiority?

You do not have to starve yourself to have people love you
You do not need to draw needles across your skin to get people to care
You deserve better than this

I've waged my wars.
My spear is broken, my sword it dull and my shield lay in ruins at my side.
I'm caked in blood and dirt and the sweat running into my eyes stings almost as much as knowing that if returned to the ship and sailed home, no feast would await me.
There is no port teaming with people to welcome my ship back to dock, there's is only empty pastures and silent days.
My appendages are numb and the only thing that keeps me fighting is the hope that someone will **** me
Drive your sword through my chest and peirce a lung.
Let me choke on every breath and feel the sting of my sins
I know I've killed so many while carrying no banner
I have no tribe
I have no village
I have no home


Just the burning pain of the blade in my side, and deaths sweet whisper in my ear
I'm ready
Place me on my sheild, burn my corpse, I don't care
I've fought for too long, I just didn't think it would be my sword that felled me
