You Are The War

The chaos of madness

You Are The War

Breathe in the cold air that has suffocated the minds of countless others before;

You hold onto the smallest glimpse of sanity; searching for a sign. With each lonely second your heart freezes a little more.

In an excruciating moment of knowing, your own agony rips you open and scars you to your core,

The world calling for an encore; Whilst your soul screams out in deplore. You are lost in translation and no longer know what you stand for.

The bullets, the missiles, the landmines - you own infinite weapons and have targets galore. It is here, in the chaos of the madness you realise, you are the war.

About the Creator

Jollyoddbod Poetry

Here I am, and here I'll stay;

Like the moon in the darkness that refuses to fade.

Clouds will cover, but cannot take from my reign;

Mark this as the moment that they realise, as they scoff with distain.

They fell asleep, I cannot be blamed.
