The fire of the soul,
Constantly burning
Dreams and desires,
Keep the flames bright
...
Every night is a constant battle in my mind.
The thoughts grow louder as the sky gets darker.
Agonizing torture.
It's almost unbearable.
...
A cowardly government
Sends thousands to their death
In a war that no one wants to fight
...
The razor blade glistens in the moonlight.
It draws me closer, like a moth to a flame.
There's no use fighting the urge.
For a moment everything else fades away.
...
An empty soul walks the road alone,
Drifting aimlessly through his barren life.
Hopes and dreams rotted and slipping away,
Leaving nothing but dead memories in their place.
...
The final flame of this life slowly dies.
The shadows creep closer in anticipation.
The flame dances with the wind.
The crackling of the final embers and the howls of the wind are all that can be heard.
...
Depression is the winter and my dreams fall like leaves upon the ground.
My body ravaged by frostbite, my limbs so numb.
Freezing winds steal away my warmth.
The fire that once filled my heart is now replaced with frost.
...
War, an excuse for murder
Filled with pain and suffering
Consuming millions of lives
...
Misery follows me like a shadow
No matter how hard I try to outrun it, I can't escape
It always finds a way to catch up to me
Even when I can't see it
...
The mortars ravage the land
Machine guns rip away flesh
Flames engulfing their bodies
Noxious gas claims their last breaths
...
