I am fighting back, holding back
Trying to make things right
I lost almost everything, and I want it back
I fight back with words, stronger then the most violent swords
I had a life once that was grand
I am holding back the best I can
Gasping for air, sucking in the rotten air
Of people, who have wronged me
I fight for revenge with words so pure
I am fighting back with words so fair
I won't find my answer in violence
I'll find my answer in words
So, reader, beware
I have a lot to say
No apology will be accepted
You should have made a better choice
You wrecked my life, now I am wrecking yours
With words stronger than violent swords
Stronger than violent swords. . . .

Words cut sharper than most swords too,
and sometimes the wounds never heal...
I know.

Good angst-letting.

Sunshine- Hey. How are you? I am doin good. This poem is supposed to give the feel that violence isn't everything. But I can still hold power by beating the person with words. Not that its right or anything.

Kellie,
you  know what they say words are a double eged sword cutting to the quick, so be careful with your words lest they cut you. Still a good write angst filled and active.
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
