My place is change,
is sacrifice,
my place is a deadly fight,
and I know it

It is something deep,
from within my soul,
that whispers look,
look and be angry,
that says fight it,
with every fiber
of your being,
fight it,
even if it kills you,
My local library has a literary magazine, and this year its theme is place, so I've been writing some poetry about place in the hope that I can submit it. Tell me what you think.

My anger is rising,
I have to do something,
sitting here is killing me,
slowly eating away at me,
what can I do?

I am old enough to think,
but not to have a voice,

_

there is so much wrong,
wrong, wrong, where to start?
the hatred, the pain,
openly shared, kept hidden away,

a sweet escape,
is not enough,
I was born to fight,
I have to,
I was born to love and live,
but both are slowly being drained from me,
taken by those, who came before,
those who are
content to sit,
content to idle,
content to leave me with worse than nothing,
they are a people of peace,
they are blind

I can feel the world,
stripping itself apart,
the soft paper mache of it's sanity,
being pulled apart to show,
the truth of this harsh world,


the generation before us,
tells us how easy we have it,
you, you didn't have wars,
hanging over your head, like dead weight,
you didn't have, the tripled problems,
why, why, did you leave this for me?


All I feel is horror,
a constant horror,
of what we can do,
of what we are capable of,


history is repeating itself,
over and over, we repeat,
the exact same mistakes,

no one sees, at least,
no one who has power,
they are too preoccupied,
with the petty worlds that they,
occupy,

You are the sweet nectar,
holding my fragile world together,

but I feel empty,
gone is the anger,
when I'm with you,
I can forget,

I can ignore,
but I must not,
I must watch fate,
take hold of my world,

tearing it apart.

Chained,
here,

while you suffer,
I am safe,

while you wait,
I can plan

I won't let them,
get us again,

I'll be ready,
You'll be safe,

I'll unshackle you,
and I'll be unchained

I'm sorry,
that I do not see,
how far we've come,
but all I see,
is what's been,
given to me.

Am I weak?
I certainly
hope not.
