Inner Conflict
By Terry Longshore [Author Info]
As I look upon my ebon skin,
I wish that the thought of my hated kin
Would stop resting within my shifting mind
As I try to find more of my kind.
The beast within my ebon skin
Grew silent today as I began to think
Of a life without my hated kin
And a fresh beginning with newfound friends.
But my thoughts of peace and love are shattered;
I'm battered by my mind and the weapon of time.
I've come to know this as a fact of life
And I need to embrace it even in all my strife.
