Literature Text

we are
tortured innocence
& temptation borne
without proper warrant

we are
a little lover’s wrath
& the fire that
ate your infancy

we are
gas leaking into lungs
& blood congesting
as riots begin

we are
broken clockwork
& waves that destroy
a child’s last plea

we are
hunger strikes
& an ignored gluttony
that starved our youth

we are inferno,
we are hallucinations,
we are anxieties

but we are
what made you
& let you see that not
everything is a vicious
war that permits victims’ tears

you are your own general,
we are your ability to
control yourself
when the needles pierce
your skin

you are your own army,
& we are simply the
pawns you must kick
down when the blaze
burns your fingertips

We are, we are
made from broken parts.
We are, we are
broken from the start.
