Done

I wave my white flag

See it waft in the wind

Hear me scream

“MERCY!”

For I am done.

I lower my sword

Drop it to the ground 

Metal clanging against the dirt and rocks

I strip off my armor.

Dented and chipping away.

Some pieces broken.

Heavy thud as it falls to the ground. 

My body is beaten

Bruised, aching

Bleeding

My mind is shattered 

Thinking thoughts it should not

Red

Open wounds

My wings are torn

Shredded

I close my eyes and 

SCREAM

Into the night.

I cry

I sob

No one can hear me

No one will care

I am no longer standing

Down on my knees

Crying 

Clutching the ground beneath me

I lay myself down

In the dirt

Closing my eyes 

Hoping for it all to end

Covering my ears 

To block it all out 

Just let it stop 

Just for one minute 

Give me peace

Someone care about me

For once

I’ve drowned

I’ve given up 

Given in

I’m dying

Someone pick me up

Someone nurse and heal my wounds

Before it’s too late

But I am forced back up

I cry to let me rest

Let me surrender just for a day

I cry as the armor goes back on

They strap my sword in hand

My legs are weak as they make me stand

Crying, I stand ready to fight 

Wishing for the blow to end it all

Round 2
