Curse these feet that dared to walk
Curse these lips that had to talk
Curse these hands that made this
Curse this brain, the mind of a sadist
Curse this heart, there burns the fire
Curse this tongue and cry out liar
Curse this blade that wounded so many
Curse this shell that won’t show any
Curse my hell and watch it grow
Curse my life and let it go
Apologies for how bad my poetry is.


This poem is the bitter lament of a dead soldier at his death, talking about his guilt for what he has done and the people he has killed. Surprising how many emotions I have in common with this character.

Not bad.

Not even one tiny hint of bad.

Gah to you I wish I could write like this.
