Warrior

 
entering your blue shades of pain
I kiss it gently
take it to my bosom
and feel your great ache
I adopt it he is now my child

naming it I call him Warrior
he is the blood of your soul
a fearless demon
you fight to keep him controlled
society released him
now you have to live with him

you love this child
he is finely honed with skill
his lust for destruction
both frightens and excites you

you wonder do people see him
reflected in your eyes
this dangerous entity
who could snap a neck without even thinking

while people blather on senselessly
you see them dead where they stand
no more garbage flowing from sideways smiles

once celebrated for being a killing machine
now you have to keep Warrior in hiding
it isn't fair and you know it
but you quietly abide you and your child
