"This is War...."The Original""
  by lupay


Thinking to myself (Shit what I do now)

My foot looks like a hell
My body feels like a hollow shell

My heads pounding like an African drum beat
As I walk down this alley I hear him coming
I hold my breath like death was around the other end of this trash can
But instead it’s you
Why won’t you leave me alone?

As I break away from the trash can
I never look back but I felt you still coming
I can’t believe I had you captive all this time
I locked your cage door so many times
I checked it every hour on the hour

Thinking to myself (Shit you getting closer)

Is that a?
Yes it is a house
Get out of the way as I yell to those in my way
But in the moment of me rushing through I see a familiar face

Damn he’s gaining
Theirs a door
As I run toward the door I feel his hand like it’s the touch of death
I slam it while smoke comes from the floor
Damn he can turn into smoke

Thinking to myself (I need a way out…the window)

Three, two, one, go
Racing to the window I leaped through
Smashing the glass and landing on the cold hard ground
I leaped up and sprinted to the fence
Only to flip over the railing and cut my leg on the fence

Bleeding from one end to the other I limp off into the shade
Only to use the last of my energy and jump into a dark area
As I lay in this rose field on wits end
He appears in front?
Unlock my chains…”he said”

So with the last once of strength I had I unlock his chains
And before I realized it when the light hit his face
He was my inner potential
So before I take my final breath I finally got to see a force stronger then
The old me!!!!
