Determination

hunch in me, foresees flames, allow me to strap
tight my fears, there I must reach, regardless. This
bridge keeping my legs intact starts to collapse,
either way I get burnt or I crush. This jungle before
me requires me to man up, though I penetrate
unarmed, for my own mental sanity, meeting the unexpected is inevitable...

I'd die battling toe to nail, until the last pulse dies off
in my heart before those beasts and fowls, feast on
me. To the edge of this paramount challenge, is my
inevitable destination,..
no gentleness to expect, for no journey of mine, has ever been dished on a silver platter, in this I go,
though I'm not the fittest, my survival lies only in
me...

through this lifetime, crossed so many dens, fought
so many battles, some with last dime in strength but
still I fought through. Scars both tattooed on my soul and mind, so hard I couldn't traumattise the
public too, for the battles were my battles to fight,
some so devastating, I bear evidence in the tilted
soul my body captures...

Sometimes I wished, I had a twin to eliviate my
burdens, for the load been way to heavy, for this sketch I'm nailed on to lift any further...
Its been long, since I have been in this struggle,
bad no rules applys, maybe the least like us would
have been fended by them...

With me, there's no much to offer nor to fend myself
with.., victory or no victory, already I'm half way in, could
smell fear through my nostrils, my foot steps in
shivers, could feel my flesh shrinking,,, who ever
said there are rules in war , has not stepped on
these streets I'm battling on..,

I mean, how difficult is it to love, I'm just a kid trying to find love not war but this world is too hostile to
grant so little wishes, hope Gods ears catches a
glimpse to my short prayer.
