The Fellowship is Broken

I used to swear I was born in the Shire

right next to Bilbo Baggins.

 

Not because of the allure of being a hobbit, their squat bodies and hairy feet.

The shire was refuge from the eye of the witch king.

 

I would rather be an elf like Legolas with a bow of rowan wood

Arrows fletched with swan feathers, twin gold inlaid swords, and eyes keener than a hawk.

 

My weapons in this world are a bleeding tongue and rusted teeth

Maggot-filled reasoning, an understanding that middle earth is no more.

 

The Shire never happened for a ******* child.

The witch king came and raised me proud.

 

Fantasy is all I have left.

What could I possibly have for you?
