• ~I am.

    I am dark and hidden
    I wonder about the future,
    I hear blades,
    I see smoke,
    I want the end,
    I am dark and hidden.

    I pretend to understand.
    I feel cowardly,
    I touch sandy dunes,
    I worry it will never end,
    I cry because others will not,
    I am dark and hidden.

    I understand the need,
    I say I believe in the actions,
    I lie when I speak it,
    I dream of gun powder,
    I try to stay strong,
    I hope I can make it,
    I am dark and hidden.

    I am death and destruction.
    I am folly and indiscretion.
    I am confusion and ignorance.
    I am selfishness and callousness.
    I am dark and hidden.
    I am war.
