?Muse?

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Dramatic.
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Angry.
� � � � � � � � � � � � � My muse deceives.
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Yet it transcends and
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � bewilders the thoughts that
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � recoil within.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �It clashes... like swords
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �like beasts it gnaws....
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � Poking its fingers into my raw wounds
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � picking at my scars.

� � � � � � � � � � � � It infiltrates my brain.
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �It infiltrates my life.
� � � � � � � � � � �Paranoia seeps from my muse
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �like a double edged knife.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � It tells me I'm trash.
� � � � It pounds me like a hammer.
� � � � � � � � � � � � �Breaking me down, as I try to escape
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �the cliche,
� � � � � � � � � and unexpectedly, forces me to rise higher.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � My muse chains me,
� � � � � � � � � challenging me to break these padlocks.
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � It chokes me
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �it's obstacle course--a race against the clock.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � It burns its way
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � a path of return.
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �Filling me with angry
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � semi-poetic words.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � It hits with me rocks
� � � � � � � � � �and bricks.... making sure I never forget its name.
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � �I love and hate my muse;
� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � a toxic demon also known as Pain.
