War
Sparks, internal sparks that flare.
They rage, and sometimes float on air up through my core and past my eyes into my brain and break all ties to whatever had made me safe; electrocute happiness, strafe my senses. We're at war now, son. A battle launched that can't be won; a demon leader wages war against his own brain, rallies for eradication of the man, and champions what madness does. He's got the voice of fear and pain And threatens me again, again. Wherever peace resides in me, the voices take what little be. Fight or flight always says fight, but I find peace when I take flight. I watch the rage slow to a halt and know that this is not my fault. © 2014 Nicholas Emeigh |
