Into

Into war I come

Bearing nothing but weapons,

Into peace I ease

Bringing unkindly offerings,

Into life I strive

Vaguely struggling to survive

Into hope I grope

Feeling for answers to nope.

Into pain I strain

Working my ass off to maintain,

Into luck I log

And publish myself on a blog,

Into love I plod

Wary of signs from above,

Into hate I wade

Threading the edge of its blade.
