red hot pokers in my gut
and my heart running marathons
being chased by I don`t know what
don`t know why but I start to run
what`s chasing catches my breath
trips my trigger-fingered shotgun
and I rise to face my own death

yesterday I danced
memories of living life out loud
spin me around
`til I remember how to find it
flip my switch again
show me where I buried all my joy
take my blinders off
I know there are colours in the crystal

the fear inside me wages war
razor sharp daggers slicing
`til I can`t feel it anymore
unholy gods sacrificing
the part of me that`s crying out
and begging for this life of sin
the last something I care about
brace myself to take it on the chin

once upon a time
awakened with reasons to live
I opened my eyes
to see technicolour rainbows
turn it on again
I`m desperate for those forever skies
I think I`m ready
to take back this life of mine for good [comments] => 4 [counter] => 88 [topic] => 21 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems ) Your Poetry Dot Com - This War, This Life

this war inside me rages on

and I rise to face my own death
