Silent War

You slither and sly like a snake

Lying and deceiving for your sake.

Your jealousy, lies and greed overshadow your senses

Of what is right from wrong.

 

Your potions bundles, money, and needles

Attacked me in my sleep while you hide indoors,

Like a coward, in the shadow of your wheels.

 

Terrified I have been for years unable to defend.

Fighting an evil no one comprehends.

You took my dignity and my spirit away,

And once my will to live went astray.

 

Even your need to kill and vanquish,

As my soul learned with each assault.

For the love of my Creator made me flourish.

 

Frightened, unable to move, while you stole my soul.

Desolate and crazy, in my mind you made me.

Animosity and ill will, I fought everyday towards,

The ones dearest to me.

 

Stronger I have become.

Not fearing anymore of what is to come.

The Creator has entered my heart,

and taught me to love and laugh.

 

My company and I can now fight you fairly.

You are now concealed in the depth of your darkness.

As you did not expect

Someday someone would fight your dark entity.

 

Never did I see such evil manifest.

Nor did I expect to grow from it.

I now understand how complex,

Yet simple it all is.

 

Nothing is gained from greed and jealousy.

It will return to you ten fold.

Lord behold,

My Creator will witness my victory!

    Power.
