Poems
Oct 2019
so many before me have waged this war and lost
accusations fly like throwing knives
and all the while, this war you wage
originates in your brain...
"if I had no one to scream at,
I'd scream at myself"
the words leave your lips
like smoke pours from windows
in a house, full blaze.
I've spent my whole life fighting,
so all this smoke doesn't scare me away.
it simply leaves me wondering
whether I can conquer this
or end up just another casualty
along the way.
I hope to a god I don't even believe in that I can fight this fire and win.
