Warring

It bloodies

Pushing from the inside

Raging

Let me out

Wanting to feel the air

Anchored to the darkness

From which it thrives

It takes many forms

Evil anatomy

Maiming

At best

Destroying

At worst

Leaving behind

Sorrow

Grief

Probing agony

I’ve witnessed

First hand

The taking

Of a precious one

Young life

Vibrant life

Before it’s time

A vial raping

Overtaking

A body

Ravaging flesh

Not spirit

Its randomness

Infuriates

Driving questions

Never wanted

To be spoken aloud

Desiring

To hurl

Back to hell’s pit

From where

It was spawned

Learning

To live

As pain’s bedfellow

Facing death

Destruction

Knowing

The fateful future

Is uncontrollable

I’ve discovered

Living

With this knowledge

Is a defining factor

Of who I am
