War

You may march in this war
You may let out a fierce
Battle cry that rips through
The heavens and puts thunder on pause

Your enemies will
Quake in their boots
Seeing the determination in your eyes
They will fear your weapons
They will wish for salvation -
Comfort
Some will surrender
And others
Will swallow thickly
Knowing your
Vicious stare contains no mercy

Your drums will shake the ground
And echo off the hills
You are a force to be reckoned with
Power and passion

But you are an army of one
Bound and fueled by rage
Confused and directionless -
You know not who to be angry with
So you are angry with everyone
With your air of invincibility
You don't even have a reason to die
And have ignored every reason to live


Cease your suicide mission
Feel that breeze brush your cheek?
It's trying to soothe you
That constant rain,
Is from the cleansing tears you've never cried

To busy destroying
To let yourself be destroyed
So you can rebuild
Too busy hurting
To heal
Too busy remembering
The burn from love
To let yourself be loved again

No idea what it means to surrender
Because your white flag
Is covered in the sweat and blood of battles past

You are powerful beyond measure
Completely unaware of your own worth
Unable to grasp how strong you truly are

Wild and enraged
Turmoil and torment
All fight and no faith

You may march on in this war
You will win many battles
But until you turn inward
And surrender to yourself
You will wear down
And wear thin
Weighed down by your shield
Collapsing on your own sword
And you will not survive this war
