Parabellum

...

By Harydo NeonPublished 5 days ago 1 min read

You've been knocking for a while

Peeping through the keyhole , wearing that smile

Trying to gain access to expose the things I hide

Younger me always fled , he would always take flight.

He was never one willing to sacrifice alot

He bought lots of keys and then gave you some

You kept him from the Father's guidance

I am here to finally break him free from this pattern

You don't have to knock no more

Open the door, it is now unlocked

Let's get this over once and for all

So go ahead and come on in, the floor is now yours

I think mum has been using all her prayers on me

Talking with the Big guy yet somehow I question his mercy

I've been dodging , it's been tough, accepting all of the blame

I thought I could ignore you and put a leash , things never were the same

I have ignored you, for far too long, come on then , fight me head on

Time has come, I won't run , I want peace, para bellum

I said come on in, what are you waiting for?

I have rested well enough , armored up, so come on.

Why are you grinning ? Why aren't you fighting?

Knocked on the door then I opened and you are barely coming in ?

Why are you just standing still ? I mean, you are the false prophet

Whispered and told me things, I believed, you laid my hopes to rest

You are just good at stealing and killing, with a desire to destroy

And now? , you can't stand that i am fighting you on my own employ

I am leaving the door open, even if it means I have to always stay on alert

But I promise I'm only going to get stronger from here on out.
