#escalation
It all started As a mere curiosity But like a snowball Rolling down a hill...... I ask my parents Why do you have me They speak of family legacy And 'normal' social expectations; Yet I have nothing worthy to pass down. So I shall end the bloodline. I ask the society Why do you want me? They speak of cultural survival And the gods' commandments; Yet all I see are oppressive traditions. So I refuse this ancestral peer pressure. I ask the church Why do you want me? They speak of ensuring numbers And the "natural" way of the world Yet all I see are hypocrisy and closed minds. So I slain the gods in my heart and mind I ask the world What do you want from me? It did not answer; it merely shows. And I see cruelty, I see pain, I see apathy So I decide, the universe never cared There is no meaning to it all Just the fate one creates for oneself Thus, I vow, I shall end this darkness And annihilate all of reality Should gods and demons oppose me I will cut them down too!

Escalated
I'm having one of those days, where nothing seems alright. My head's stumbling like its in the ******* maze! And I'm losing in every fight. What the **** is going on? Feels like the water is flowing backwards, The gravity pull is upwards. Seems like everything is messed up. Oh what a shame Don't know when it all began. You play all your mind game, Trying to put all your blame, On ME!! Pretending that you were here for me, Offering me your helping hand. You tried to serve and feed me, Only what's good for you. I swallowed it whole, But now I'm spitting it back on you! I've drowned in your shadow, So dark and deep! Couldn't even figure out, If I'm fake or real! You sold me out, knocked me down, Stabbed me on the back, Soaked my heart in gasoline And burned it down! Now I could care less, Coz my head is full of ******* rage! Oh my vision has turned red, So you better runaway. Yeah you better be scared, When my eyes are furious and red. Had enough of your stupid games, Its my turn to make you pay!

Escalating to Revenge
All of a sudden, out of nowhere something came across the way. Exactly what this something is, it’s quite difficult to say. As of now the present is on hold because of this something. Difference of opinion leads to conflict of interest Escalation in conflict leads to war Always remember never forget the cause. Go into details of each and everything, follow the same. Over a period of time it will be realized, time and again cause is the only thing that not only remains the same, but is also important and hence in no way there is an escape. Never forget that you are facing an odd Never try to evade the same Over a period of time it will be realized that odds make a way for many more new things in life that can not only be touched, sensed and felt, but those same things can be a part of life, making an otherwise routine life very much interesting.
