Awake all the anger
to forge edge so keen
all the times I failed
to know what I'd mean

Take all of the pain
and melt this hard shaft
making the hilt for this hand
smother all of their laughs

Harness the hatred
directed at me - at you
as they'd stare back from mirrors
our blame scalding but true

It's your fault
It's your mind
It's you, you and YOU
All in your thoughts
All in your head
All unreal, not real, untrue

Pearly white handle
Three-tang, good heft
Double-D edge to last longer use
Is this all that is left?

Gaze out to the sunset
"Like the end of my day"
There must be more, here;
This CAN'T be the way!

Harness the hatred
And all of the sorrow
Grasp a mightier weapon
And save the cutting for
   an unsought tomorrow.

I like the setting of this.. it's not an easy task, it takes hard work and training of your willpower, and this is a really appropriate portrayal.

*falls over* that's it, you've killed me. This piece...everything about it...*sighs* there are no words that could explain what this means for me to read...just know it's excellent. And again, perfect rhyme scheme. ~*Beth*~
