War Inside My Mind Poem by Axley Blaze

There's a war inside my head,
Like scratching nails which won't relent
Down the board, they go—
As I kneel, as I repent
There's a madness in my mind
On chaos—I depend
So, every sentient moment
It's like a start to every end
The cycle goes on, as I choke on life
On breathing, on living
My mind; never forgiving!

It loves the madness,
I'm drunk on every episode
I drown in beautiful sadness
And, so the story goes…
Until—the war, once more restarts
It never expires—it won't depart
Confined, inside my brain
The madness, YES—I crave!
Soldiers of soap operas
With drugs, sex, and gore
It's a bombsite of destruction…
Yes, welcome to the WAR!
