The Battle

He attacks me suddenly 

Erupts like booming thunder

And all I do is wonder

If things will ever change 

Because I feel his heavy power

Quick hands 

Sharp teeth

Ready to devour 

The parts of me still left 

He consumes me 

But at least I don't consume him

Because I don't want to become him 

If he takes me away 

At least I can escape 

But if I let him in 

It's only so long until I take his shape

  • I sit

    I sit 

    I sit and 

    I sit and think 

    I sit and think and 

    I sit and think and wonder 

    I sit and think and wonder and 

    I sit and think and wonder and worry 

  • To being carefree

    today, i let my brother spray me with a hose 

    and it reminded me of that time at camp,

    when we jumped in the pool, still in our clothes 

     

    it reminded me of water balloon fights, 

  • Delicate

    I am delicate,

    not fragile,

    please handle me as such.

     

    I was crafted,

    perfected,

    but I will crumble under your touch.

     

    I am easy to break

    because I am not meant to be broken,
