War is a state of conflict between two parties via the use of force and violence. War is most often known and waged between two different countries, with many examples throughout history.
When wars are waged inside the mind, there are no rifles. There are no bullets. There are no declarations, no ambushes nor skirmishes. There are no power vacuums. There are no ideologies.
This is a three-poem collection of poems written under a STATE OF WAR in one's mind.

Loving The Liar
I met him in the ward-room 407, just down the hall from mine. He said he was broken like me. Quiet. Gentle. Safe. But he's not a patient. He checked himself in. And I'm the reason he came. After the overdose, they said I'd lost control. But he knows the truth-because he's the one who watched me fall. Now I'm stuck inside this hospital with him, and the boy I'm falling for might be the very reason I tried to die. He says he can fix me. But first, I have to remember what he did.Complete

In Her Head
Something old. Something new. Something borrowed... something blue. Cleo Cohen didn't sign up for superpowers - or for a second consciousness living in her head. When a clinical trial at Nova Pharmaceuticals goes wrong, Ground Zero rewrites everything. A butterfly flaps its wings - and a building explodes. Now Cleo is stuck sharing her mind with Zeke, a dead Supersoldier whose presence bleeds into her thoughts, memories, and sense of self. Outside her head, the world is collapsing into factions: Nova, Homeland, and something far stranger forming in the aftermath. Jack, Nova's unpredictable Supersoldier, is hunting for answers - and erasing anything that gets in his way. Cass, a Homeland investigator, starts uncovering a pattern that doesn't make sense. And Mr. E, a psychic who sees the board instead of the people on it, is quietly moving everyone toward something no one understands yet. Cleo just wants her life back. But the more she resists, the more the voice in her head becomes something else entirely. Power is a parasite. And in this story, the body is the battlefield. TW: This story can be intense. Includes themes of: self harm, PTSD, dissociation, body horror, attempted sexual assault, torture, cult themes and human trafficking.
