My Other HalfA Poem by AKNBook series Shatter meI saw myself for the first time A different side of me right in front of me eyes I blinked to hide All I could do is cry I tried not to commit a crime By not trying to die I was in a tide Struggling to get by I smash the mirror And saw everything much more clearly It was a mistake And I can’t take it back Even if I try, I won’t be able to deny The things I have done to get by I’ve robbed places Kidnapped people But I’ve never once wanted to steal a life I only wanted to survive And I’m never free of guilt Which can’t be unbuilt Even if it was self-defense It’s still pretty hard to forget My name is Juliette I have no parents No home I’m living a fake life I’m alone, always will be I have friends, people like me I’m a walking death trap They are afraid of me They have a right to be One touch can kill So stay away I have Adam I have Warner Blood brothers yet to know it I was trapped In a world of death and sacrifice A chance is all I ever wanted To be free To be me Not to be a killing machine I was given a life A life I did not want Sometimes I wish I had died, died in that lonely asylum. Yet I’m also grateful Grateful to have lived, passed it To have met Adam To have met Warner To have lived long enough to take over, part of the Reestablishment. People are free They can live They can be happy As for me it’s a different story I will not be free But I’ll be happy As I take down the rest of the Reestablishment I will fight Fight beside my friends To free human kind To free the world I will not rest Not till they’re gone Losing isn’t an option Not till we’re free If it comes to it I will die Die happy Knowing that I helped But till that day comes I will fight I’ve got a message A message for the Reestablishment My name is Juliette I am poison I am strength And I am death I will not rest I will fight till death I will chase you to your end You will die at my hands or, surrender at my feet. I am your worst nightmare, come alive. So, you better watch your back I’m coming for you And I’m a fast learner In need of revenge You can run, But you can’t hide. © 2018 AKN |
