DIRECT HIT
I pass by quickly
Realizing it was real
A huge chunk, missing
Where fear tried to kill
...desire
I've tried to be a child
Play and imagine fun
But every time he came
My little mind would run
...fast
Blahda blah, my mouth opened
Swallowing breath of pain
Choking on speed
While pleasure gained
...soul
Today, at this very moment
I stopped, and filled the hole
Smoothed out the earth
So anyone can go
...home
