But, I’m trained in peace.

I’ve done all I can to deter my nature.

At some point, you may need to step aside; and, let me work.

If I don’t think about where I am, but only where I’m going - I thrive.

It’s when I peel the sleep from my weeping lids, and take a peek, that I’m stunned into a deafening silence.

I cannot encapsulate these thoughts, these feelings, or this momentum.

I will stagnate and die.

A fate I would barter, for no other reason, than having a tarnished soul.

From sight, thought, presence, and a kind of reality.

There’s no way to understand - just forget.

And step into the chaos. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 31 [informant] => Odessa19 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

A courageous fighter for peace,
and one who understands human flaws
even their own - is required now, more
than ever!
Well written and thoughtful poem!

Peace!

Seems you tend to fight you natural spirit. Perhaps there is a way to steer it into a usable direction. May sound silly, but Ghostrider comes to mind.

I loved the title and the introspection in the internal conflict. My type of poem
