Choas

To know thy enemy is to know thy self.

Drown your sorrows like bodies.

Regret can be found in the bitter bottle,

and fear is a weakness that can last only

the shortest seconds

but strength the longest of hours.

You are titanium steel.

You have been forged and re-forged,

melted down and made a new.

You are the sea, furious, ever changing,

and swallowing everything in your path.

You are as unforgiving as the cold that made you.

You are hell and brimstone.

You rage like thunder and scream like wind,

and by God, they will rue you.

You are not an army,

you are an empire.

You are myth and legend.

You bring destruction

and breathe fire.

You are Girl.

Burn. Them. All.
