It's Not Too Late

Before he destroys himself He’ll gather What little courage He has left To break free And start anew Not believing How little There is left of him A skeleton a ghost Setting the traps He falls victim to He himself His own worst aggressor AP: 2nd place 2020, Front Page Pick 2020 Posted on March 2, 2018
