The Irony of Her War
By Crush Room
Trying to exorcise herself of demons
was never going to be easy;
Especially when the past was at her doorstop
pleading for another chance that was precarilously stacked high upon a
tower of porcelein chances.
Soft whimpers feather her ear pulling at her 'heart' strings
And as she .....ever....so.......slowly opens the door to yesterday
She is blinded by the energy streaming through at the first sign of life........
Don't fall for it, she hears......100 long tedious days have passed as
she continues to forage through the debris of ashen words and promises...
Determined to find the {Elusive Truth}, she has no choice but to step up
the search...
Bring in the heavy artillary, prepare the troops and arm yourself, for
this is war, she declares.....
A war of one against many
A war whose emotional carnage will weary the strongest of minds
A war where revenge and malicious intent are denied invitation....
This
is
a
war
about
finding
........peace.........

I identified strongly with many of the thoughts here, and I loved that incredibly effective staccato enjambment at the end, with a twist ending on the very last word, no less. I miss you, hope you're doing well. - Scarrzz

i keep coming back to this... its texture hauntingly familiar... like finding a feeling painted in the same colours i'd imagined in my own head but never had the elegance to put into words... outstanding

...and tomorrow? We wage the war again. Careful, lest the demons compose themselves into a congress of sorts. :)

This is good...can I ask a stupid question? Is this about sobriety? Or just the age-old demons within battle?

Thanks for your comments...quite simply put it is about the everyday demons - more specificically about change when everyone around you expects you to take the easy way out but your heart tells you it's time to do what's right for you...I love the fluidity of writing, though, and how you can apply your own meaning and still get a lot out of it - make sense?? xx
