Slash & Burn
August 18, 2016
Push! Push against the walls of water,
trying to drown your every breath;
Creeping in, trapping you,
it sucks on life till the final death.
Tear! Tear through the growing vines,
trying to chain your inner dreams;
Slithering nearer, trapping you,
They thrive on blood of broken dreams.
Scream! Scream through this cage of glass,
Trying to blanket your rising will;
Drawing closer, trapping you,
Its beats depends on hearts gone still.
Slash and Burn, they all should learn,
Time for penance has finally come;
Slash and burn, it's now your turn,
To glow with the blazing sun.

I don't remember what actually made me write this, it's been quite long. But now, whenever I look back at that time, I see more of friendliness from the world around me than depicted here.
