Outcast
By Winter Born
Consumed by inner demons,
I wake in the night to echo of silent SCREAMING.
Nightmares
and
Fear,
Sweat
and
Gasping...
My substantial subconscious refusal to retain
These visions
of violence.
S

I

E
The daylight
in the dripping...B
L
O
O
D.
The fierce flow of forbidden
PRIDE.
A sudden tsunami of sensual sensation.
It sweeps
away innocence
Like a house before a hurricane.
A warrior is born,
An
Outcast
Made
Sometimes I wish my Hardware was hardwired
To support the
software of your soft ways
Would that a simple patch was all
I needed
To interface with your "Human Race"
Unfortunate
that my Dependence
On outmoded (Obsolete?) Honor,
That my inability
to aquiese
to your request
That I subvert my inner strength,
My soul...
For your easy way out attitude
Subjects me to your scorn and derision
But for me
there is NO decision.
Forced to choose between
My HONOR and your "society"
There.
Is.
No.
Choice...
Goodbye.
