Live by the pen die by the pen

I remember his haunting voice

as my inner confidence was stolen

I now have the lyrical remedy

To ease the pain on the parts of my soul that remain swollen

Right now I would give anything for a calm peace of mind

All sense of tranquility seems to hard to find

But I am Still fighting for a better tomorrow

Life at this moment in time seems to hard to swallow

Seeing my attacker again arises a deep layer of fears

His name alone still causes deep mental stress and panic stricken tears

Memory's of me on that corner on that apocalyptic day

Are always haunting me and never seem to fade or go away

But this talent that god blessed me with needs to be shown

Right now the place I live is the coldest place I have ever known  

I am holding on to the vision of the girl my dreams

Which keeps me sane and silences my panic stricken screams

Her voice of reason makes my life simpler to understand

I was transfixed in a shaking wreck until she took hold of my hand

If I made it tomorrow with my rhymes I would share it all with her

I felt safe from what level of chaos was about to occur

I am on a roller coaster of emotions now that

My worst fear has been confirmed and multiplied by ten

At this moment in time I have one rule

and one rule only live by the pen and die by the pen

    Wow. This pretty much makes me feel like an insignificant moron who can't write to save her life (In a good way). Your outlook on how to deal with people is probably far different than mine, but if I were you and I saw that guy again I'd probably walk right over to him and break his face. But...that's just me. Thank you for entering and gracing my contest with your presence.

    I...you...guh...oh my.
    This is amazing. No, seriously. Stunning.
    I am quite certain that I have never read something like this ever. I really loved the wording and the language. I read your author notes, and I can't believe that happened! Even though I know it won't do much difference, I'm really sorry. Good luck in the contest!
