Hulk

Victim written all over me But strength lies deep within Unsure who I should set free Whose heart my actions underpin Which ego is my alter At which altar do I pray Who holds me when I falter Who'll save me from the fray My only chance is solitude Or do I wish to be saved Oh who do I delude What is this life I've made Empowered by my anger But live with the regret Can't stand this life much longer The torment I can't forget No bars will ever hold I'm stronger than your cage Cannot be controlled Cannot contain this rage This is not life I'm living There is no cure for this The remorse is unforgiving Of life and love I reminisce Who lives and who dies here I no longer know who I am Does it help to disappear To escape the monster not the man

I love this. Especially the lines "Which ego is my alter At which altar do I pray" Such a cool use of the homonyms, really nice job.

Thank you Corey! I was like 'oh, is that what I did there!?' I know I did, but you've made it sound like I did it with much more intellectual intent than I was aware of at the time :)

Hi & Wow! A fav! A dynamic penning of a superhero’s angst of mind& spirit vs. body & cause. Fantastic to meet you via this excellent penning! If this doesn’t bring you a win, i’ll eat my Apple (ipad? did i say that?). Ok. Just the apple. Count me ss a follower, too. Haven’t noticed Unaround before. Will read more! sally

Wow, what a boost! Thank you :) I just write with no notion of where it will go and don't always follow poetic rules (as I don't know many of them!) I ignored this contest for a while as didn't feel I knew enough about superheroes - but I grew up watching the incredible hulk, so thought I'd give it a go :) thanks again. I think your comment may get framed haha
