Poems by Eric Cockrell : 2566 / 2802
We Battle...
we battle against ourselves!
we starve our souls with
the 'need' to possess.
we strip our senses
with fake morality.
we quench our fires
with our limited concepts.
we wound our very love
with the image we present.
we defile our truth
with the lies we settle for...
we choose fear over freedom,
and so break our own wings!
