The Frightened Child

"Kill first - find a reason later."

He cannot help himself, hounds of shame forever nipping his heels, driving him onward; doubling down on doubling down till death do him part

"My life is lost. There's no going back after what I've done." What a fool believes when he fails to believe

His tears ricochet as bullets; the more he cries the more they die: their screams his screams

Death's mirror beckons his nightly soul; razor lies filet hope's hope, blown ramparts of torment rain upon the unsuspecting

He promises himself impossible endings dreamed but not lived; the never-ending nightmare of forsworn truth

"Love me or kill me!", the credo of war, depths of despair crater the land

Word portrait of the Son burns in his heart; a never-to-be-revealed state secret known to all

"A man' worth is judged by his ability to lie to himself."

Every hell cries out for help. Masturbatory missiles launching lonely clusters of fear into the sky, terror's child pleads to be heard

"Please don't leave me alone. Please don't leave. Please..."
