there was once
a genocide
in my heart,
outbreaks of riots
at my fingertips,
loose chaos
in my bones.
days to weeks,
weeks to months
months to years,
the wars raged
onward,
never falling back -
only charging on.
however,
the genocide
and riots
and chaos
have relinquished.
i survived
the apocalypse
that was
my own self.
