It Was No Mistake

i need
therefore i feed
across the lands
biting the hands
that reach-
it was no mistake
to breach 
to take what wasn't 
mine- i was
only trying to
find a way back.
the moment
the attack
thrives inside
swallowing lives-
i feel 
therefore i fall
so small
so scared
progression no
longer impaired
sparks fire 
cracks the ice
overwhelms the night
which believed
darkness would
suffice.
