Stranger

Talking to the stranger within!

Stranger

From the moment of birth
To the bitter instant of death
Stranger soul aching for one more breath
…
Beyond the years
Behind the rusty emptiness
Between the present and your memories
Stranger you're dwelling within the darkness

Your dragon awakes

Breathing fire into your veins
Burning rage lost within your devils
"My demons unleashed"
"Into flames mercy died"
"I will give them a reason to bleed"

Beyond the years
Behind the rusty emptiness
Between the present and your memories
Stranger you're dwelling within the darkness

On your knees
This ground blood it feeds
But is it yours or your enemies?
"Let me tell you a thing or two"
"Looking through my window"
"I watched as the monsters grew"

Beyond the years
Behind the rusty emptiness
Between the present and your memories
Stranger you're dwelling within the darkness

"The light is fading into dark"
"Flip open the twins ready to attack"
"Backed up with a wall behind my back"

Stranger…
You stood here once before
Wondering where you went wrong
Facing a faceless army ready for war
Forever into battle is that truly where you belong?

Author's Note

This I just wrote, I don't know it feels strange maybe the end isn't my usual close and that reason, or maybe its just me I don't know, anyway I hope you enjoy it

All the best,

Wow.. lots of emotions pouring through this.. with your inner demon or dark side symbolized as the dragon for rage pouring into your veins.. a sense of a born fighter.. fighting oneself perhaps as much as through life itself. Most question their goals, life, inner-being.. self-acceptance can be hard.

I can relate to the wondering where one went wrong in life.. more than once pondering purpose and meaning in life.. and so much more. This was really great.. and gave an open look to a self-reflection of battle with oneself and/or roots.. great creative job!

hell yeah!
this is one of your best mate!
lad you're doin' well!
this is amazingly profound and unique!

i like your out of usual ending... a new taste of spice... once again you wonder and ask!
the conflict is one only you can understand... you know you're capable and willing... but you're not sure if its where you belong... hough something "monstrous" inside you wants it!
the were-wolf i guess... empowered with love and passion!
am i not right?

anyway...
i have enjoyed this poem very much!
thank you for sharing it!

take good care!

I know why its strange Tamer, cause your talking about your own self as a stranger... Maybe I am wrong bro
When did you have time to write this? yesterday we worked most of the day and you send me at 3am telling me the messaging system was finished!

Anyway I loved it bro
this was my fav part:
"Beyond the years
Behind the rusty emptiness
Between the present and your memories
Stranger you're dwelling within the darkness"

I cant stay on for long I have to drive my family to visit relatives
Did you call Samer?
you told me to remind you so I am
