KILLING IT, NOW THAT I VOW

Private Notes

Hidden in a place so secluded and divine

A sip of whiskey I take, as my target aligns

Silent breaths set me up to pull the trigger

A target so massive, the grave should be bigger

 

Running on liquor my energy depletes

But not before I figure out what it eats

It feeds on fear and I have none of that

I could beat it down with only a bat

 

Voices, little, filling my head

It is time to act now

It is time the beast is dead

Killing it, now that I vow

 

A promise, taken to the end

A battle of perseverance and will

Offense is best, I need not defend

For this is a battle that ends with my kill

    Wow, an intense piece of poetry Lilly! Vague intensity is a term that comes to mind. Who is the target? Why the need to kill? It does not matter in the intense ‘now’ of the moment! Love it!
