Violence welcomed me
Embraced me
Consoled me
Comforted me
Turned me
     Into a tool
A figure of aggression
An avatar of retribution

Violence corrupted me

I am a blood boiling rage
Unchecked adrenaline rush

I am a claw of destruction
A player of the piano of fears
I tear and slash
Rip apart what you are
You are my scratching post
A center well of undenied hatred

You turned me into the Reaper’s scythe
A harvester of will
A bender of the reed of restraint
I have become the escalation of evil
