My mind is a battle field...
My mind is a battle field!
I stop to think and all I see is blood,
men's agonized screams fill the air,
and I see fire.
I see a violent cloud of darkness
retreat toward me.
I try to run but like it always does,
it consumes me.
Am tossed by the swirling wind in void,
seeing but only flashes of scarlet bolts
too bright that they pierce my eyes.
Needless as I know it might be,
I close my eyes,
only to see a lush and seemingly familiar
meadow covered in the brilliance of sunrise,
the twitter of the birds melts my inferiority
and I giggle as I reach out for a lovely Daisy.
My heart races almost immediately
and the air grows cold.
I lift my eyes and see blood in the field,
an inferno upon the grasses and everything,
I see an almost infinite number of corpses
and sane claiming screams fill the air.
I motionlessly stand watching the only light
that had given me closure
steadily fade away in the dark.
and I realize I thought!
