The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

I and all the things that shaped me

A single shining sun

A little fragment of god that

flaked

off of his magnificence and

fell

to the earth, where it began to beat in the breast

of a newborn babe

Giving it life from god above

 

Let's call him Will!

They said

and bundled me up

and my dad took me places

and my mom was nice

but nobody knew what to do

when my father was taken

by 39 police

on Christmas Eve

so long

long

long

ago

 

This

Is the story of what I

Am

And what I will

Be

And what I

Was

And all that is to follow

 

Hatred

like the tired street-sweeper with

children to feed and a wife

that nags all night long

laid a path for the wars to come

within my soul

 

Loneliness

Surrounded my heart, an army

of warriors with toothy grins of icicles

and spears of solid ice

They warred long

and hard

but the fort did fall

and Pity

Their captain

did take the throne

 

Self-Esteem

(Or lack thereof)

Froze my heart in a block like a glacier

Colder than the winter's heart

and as pitiless as an axe

 

Pain

Took the frozen crumpled heart

and slowly

with cunning spells and wards

transformed it into stone

Less feeling than a block of granite,

Harder than I could dare to be

 

Love

Slowly melted away the icy frost

And chipped away the stony cover

Took the pain

and dissolved it in peace

Took the hate

and crumpled it up and threw it away

 

Happiness

Took the place of hate

pity

sadness

loneliness

and filled up the corners of my heart that

were few and far between.

 

TO BE CONTINUED

IN A FEW HOURS

Fulfilment

A warm blanket spreading throughout me

Chasing away the cold

shadows

And

leaving me with a sense of feeling

happy

and safe in myself

 

Duty

Like the concrete of the skyscrapers

binds me to life

with honor and justice

in my self-appointed task,

Defender

Protector

Helper

 

Anger

Righteous fury of the gods

Flares up like brushfire

burning through me in

holy rage

Leaving me alert

energized

and deep inside

happy

 

Even more to come later...
