I won’t even attempt to sleep tonight. Because,
Like the last several nights,
I know that I will not be able to.
There is a Rage in me that has been boiling for centuries before I came to know my Mother’s womb.
I have died a thousand times, Each time slower than the last.
They want us to walk among them, Hollow as the tip they send.
