    The lone warrior in the war of roses:

    There are some wars–
    To fight on my own.
    Walls tumbling down,
    I am gonna tackle alone.
    I bleed rapidly–
    To guard the smells of roses,
    Long gone.

    Heaven crashing–
    Approaching doom.
    Not too soon?
    But I make a room:
    One for me and my feelings.
    Yes they are important–
    And they will be.
    They are ever loyal,
    Never betray.
    All can–
    But they–
    Won’t ever leave me astray.

    Self-obsessed?
    Yes that’s good.
    At the setting dusk–
    The figure in the mirror,
    Won’t ever be rude.

    Scared of darkness?
    I have faced it.
    By my soul’s flame..
    The world has got lit.

    Bleeding elbows, jaws and knees–
    Doesn’t bother me anymore.
    “The world at my door,
    FEAR ME!!!!!
    I HAVE SURVIVED:
    AS THE LONE WARRIOR.”
