Innocent Soul


Is it possible for an innocent looking soul,
to hold so much anger?
To have always dreamed of punching another breathing human being?
To hurt someone, and see for the first time how powerful their hook is?

Is it unknown to others of this feeling.
Of not purposefully making someone feel pain for who they are,
but to let one's self anger free,
stress relieved.

That's what boxing is for,
right?
Either way you wouldn't catch them in the ring,
or any other crowd for that matter.
That is not them,
they don't arrouse this attention.

Having punched pillows,
upright matresses,
doorframes... before springing back in pain from
their hand making contact with a hard surface.


But still dreaming of making contact with human flesh.
To make the opponent bruised would be an accomplishment.
For blood to leak from the opponents body would be a victory.
No need to make them unconcious in their first fight.

Proabably sounding weak,
after years of giddyness over puppies,
and the color 'pink',
has always dreamt of just letting their anger control them.
One little outburst wouldn't hurt.
One little kick in the groin,
elbow in the stomach,
fist to face,
fist to nose,
to jaw.
Pure red liquid pouring over the crumpled body,
masking faces,
not stopping till the need is satisfyed.
Even when bodies upon bodies have been hit does the fighting continue.

Almost 14 years of holding all the pain, anger and frustration inside.
It'll take almost 14 years for it all to subdue.
When it does that ravaged beast unleashed from the innocent soul shall rush back into their heart.
To stay there for another set amount of years till another outbreak.
But until then they shall only be looked and called upon as an
Innocent Soul.
