A War I Have Yet To Fight (Four Year War) Poem by Kat Smith

Its not over, I think

no fear

only rage

I will finish this

In my story this is not the last page

I steel myself for battle

my battle ax raised

I let a scream tear its way out of my throat

no fear
no fear
no fear
no fear

my mantra echoes through my brain

you don't care
you can't care
you won't care

caring is for those who do not intend to make it out alive

its convincing on my face

but my heart beats fast with fear
I let my eyes darken with the pseudo-lust for blood death and gore
I will strike fear into the hearts of my enemies
and inspire horrified awe in the minds of my successors
I tell myself

This is the beginning of a long and grueling war
a war once bravely fought by so many before me
I whisper in my own ear
this is

freshmen year
