Poems
Jan 2017
On My Own Terms
There will be a time when you need me,
But I'll already be gone.
Flesh may be a measure of mortality,
However these words cut deep.
They carve themselves into infinity,
Scribing the rise, ****** and fall.
Each piece is a violent declaration,
Against the tides of hate.
While I could not wade in the water,
The storm of truth rains down.
Falling victim to fate and telling times,
All exits are crafted by these hands.
