Five thousand thought voyages,
The victims sought triages,
The players sought blood,
And we cried through our eyes where we stood.

One substance stupidity,
Causes morbidity,
The captain of deaths
Pays homage to leader’s shibboleths.

I grew up with the idea that you aren't supposed to love yourself
Who taught me this?
Myself

Why do I find it so stonelike to obey and cooperate with my literal self?
I'd rather be liquid
So I can freeze my intentions into place and melt it as I choose

I do not know how many years I was terrified of the Titan
It spit in my face the stink of ancient beer
Clogged my nostrils with smoke and massive fingers
As if to rip off my nose
As if to crush my bendy bones in its fists
All the while hollering
For more
And less
And itself

I only know that now
I have seen other
Things
Than it
Things with far more power than it
Things that howl louder than
The Titan
I have risen to meet them
I have looked in their eyes
As I brought
     them
To kneel before
     me
Have brought them
To know fear

Soon I shall make battle again
With the great beast from some hell of its own
It does not yet know
To be afraid

On a rickety table
With battles of syllables
There was a scramble
Where cradle turns rumble

Wants insa-ti-able
Yet we're able
Able to disable
Every evil cable

Enough of this national gamble
The people are in shambles
With trailers of grumbles
For mountains of fumbles
May we not utterly stumble
For the flow stinks like a stable

The last one for me,
I will break free.
The last one of us,
I will cause a fuss.
The last one to call,
I swear I won't fall.
The last one of theses days,
I'm changing up all of my ways.
The last one to be hurt,
I'll make sure I stay alert.
The last one,
The war has only just begun.

I'm losing my mind,
So you'll see what's behind.
The things I've tried to hide,
So far on the inside.
But they are all coming out now,
I promise I didn't just allow!
Would you believe me if I said it was the truth?
I'm no longer just a youth.
I've grow now and seen some things,
The memory of each still stings.
I want to just be okay,
But it seems the pain won't go away.
The battle is going on within,
And it's only just now ready to begin.

You brought peace
To a Battle fought for generations
Civil love feels like giving up
To a heart beating
In rhythm with war drums
