Every day offers a chance
To step away from the past
Embrace a new self
There is a warrior waiting
To reveal the path
Soldier of fortune
Did I shine my light on your fear?
I was trying to show you the way
Confusing knowledge with madness
Compassionate care
Drag it into the woods and set it on fire
Inhale toxic fumes
Suffocation is a small sacrifice
Burn your voice
Stop the echo in my head
These are the ties that bind us
Destruction and creation
Your words slice through my skin
Embedded in my bones and calcified for life
Tell me to live in the moment
Not understanding it’s haunted
Term life
Maximum security
Hooray for civil participation
Incarcerated by regret
Electrocuted
In watered down spirituality
Shocked
Into awareness
Lost your dream
All I hear is a scream
A gift from God
What a cruel joke
Dread is strapped to my back
Punishing and hagridden
It never shuts its mouth
Yelling at me non-stop
It’s rotten drool runs sticky
Down my fake smiling face
Seeping into my thoughts
Obstructing my breath
Slurring my speech
Blurring my vision
It has no shape
Ever present
Omnipotent
Relentless
Savage
Misery
Fear
I want to name it after you
And blame you
Callous
