Lethal Weapon

I have tried so many times

To abolish irate stress off my mind

But the present circumstance evades me.

I live in the kennel of the times

It’s apparent, nothing can break in upon me.

 I am hard pressed.

My surviving strength is oppressed

By forces that defy gravity of reason.

They say life is a seed

Mine just sprouted in the guise of a weed.

It seems I am unwanted.

It’s tough not to be daunted

When your adversary

Wages war from within.

Raging like a storm,

Crippling my most lethal weapon.
