​Worn

Whirling, the storm never ending,
Head always held high,
Battering, all the days blending,
Forsaking what is nigh

Gathering courage and resilience,
Circling the planes,
Weathering a barrage of pestilence,
Encroaching mighty flames

Resolve tested,
Worn by time,
Hatred reinvested,
Worn by the climb

Pace, that of a zealot,
Seeking the answers,
Face, hardened by harlot,
Trumping the cancers

Burning, through the dark woods,
Shrugging off wound and word,
Pressing, without the help of hoods,
Sprinting with hound and bird

Shoulders ache,
Worn by time,
Body shakes,
Worn by the climb

How did I end up here?
This place of darkness and pain,
When did I stray clear?
The path marked by blood stain

Attempting to shed by horrid form,
Fate clinging to me fitfully,
Trying to outrun what I've been born,
Hate shearing me hastefully

MInd racked,
Worn by time,
Soul hacked,
Worn by the climb

I cannot give up, this drive I have acquired,
The man before forsaken,
I shall not deter, the power now discovered
The wolf now awaken

Hungering, I hunt for my prey,
Wild and bloodied,
Thundering, I scatter and fray,
Child now buried

Humanity lost,
Worn by time,
Sanity cost,
Worn by the climb
