Pen It Down

Leagues Down the Dark Side

Fresh love and a broken heart,

That's all I have.

A bright sword now covered in rust;

Bleeding fists on its golden hilt.

Here comes the battle:

The world on one side,

Me on the other.

Here begins the wrestle

I'm trying to save my hide,

But they won't let me.

Yes, I'm selfish;

I'd save my loved ones over them.

Yes, I'm a coward;

I turn a blind eye as demons stem.

Yes, I'm weak;

Bleeding between the ribs.

But I'm still here,

Fighting the dark

While the elite sit back and call dibs.

Look into my eyes;

You'll see my shattered soul.

Hold my hand;

And you'll feel the raging blood.

I still have a smile on,

And a genuine one;

You say you know what's going on,

But you don't have a clue,

Not a single one.
