Description
I am fighting against this Ancient Dark
being beaten by every turn
but somewhere, being ruined, I think I was true
I showed the ghastly real face of myself to all
and people reeled from what they saw
me, this, all of me, the dancing blood
framed in dark
I know in the red of me I had enough love for worlds
I was born with a limp, too afraid to dance
but this hand of mine ends with a sword
my poetry is a violent thing, because it is too true
when I finish what I have to say, I will die
