Withing the mirror I see not myself
A dark man looks back jeopardizing my wealth
Is he a dream of a forecasting image
All the wrongs I have done and the lessons with in it
Crazy in rage I lash out at this beast
Only a failing attempt I crumble to his feet
I beg and I plead that my life can be saved
But my soul has become a hole trapped in a cave
I look and I look at this demon before my eyes
I relax and step back and to his utter surprise
Our eyes have engaged into an unspoken war
I realize who he is, this figure of scorn
A fist I swing with a might of unrelenting anger
A duck and a dodge for this beast is no stranger
He is my past memory of the blood I have shed
All the foe I have faced who now all lay dead
He is the horrific events I brought to this life
The people I've hurt out of pure and hateful spite
He is the will I have lost in a world that has lost itself
Never the less I swing in protection of my health
I am not this beast in which I was in the past
My soul is rising and repaired and repairing so fast
I am the Angel in which dubbed me that name
Combat is like this figure a pawn of a game
Standing tall like I did at the start
I no longer follow a rifle but the beat of my heart

That was great! Poetic justice, and irony in the one. I loved it! Keep writing.

I'm glad you've let go of that beast within and found your heart!!
Very well written!

Fab!!
This is a great write, unique. Best of luck in the contest! -
I must say this was intriguing. You were a demonic human, so to speak, in this poem. This is different from what I asked for, and highly original - contest-wise. I like it.
Good write. -
A very interesting poem. When I was reading it, I was reminded of my brother who has been in battle. It evokes much pain. I think I can relate to some parts of this poem because my brother has told me about similar feelings. It was a well done poem.
