It's a poem!

They say big things come in small packages. True, that!

My friend never knew she was a poet until a bathroom incident brought out the poet in her.I read the poem and thought, "what a beautiful piece". For indeed it is.

Probably not the usual rhyming choruses you are used to hearing. I can guarantee that this is most certainly worth reading. Here it comes....enjoy.

THE WAR....

Inside me lives

The most charming, alluring, most daring

The darkest, scariest, most deceitful

She says if we want it, then it’s right

She leads me to self destruct

With her irresistible charm

Makes me do it again

Each time deeper into the mud

and laughing says

but it’s what we want

Inside me lives

The plainest, simplest, most timid

The strongest, the wisest, most brave

She says right is right

And it’s not always what we want

She emboldens me to walk away

She cleanses, she refreshes, she lifts me

Out the mire and into the clouds

And says it’s who we are meant to be

Every day the war rages on

Each battle yielding a different victor

But who will win the war?

It’s she that I arm

She that I empower the most
