The Tower has taken
All that I love
These demons, I'll awaken
In the Tower above
Break down the gates
Where my enemy awaits
Up through this cage
Where my purpose, becomes rage
My spirits be twisted
My anger enlisted
To the highest reaches of this tower
I Will Ascend
But my creed is devoured
My death I portend
The demons surround
No turning around
I strike and I swing
But my blade never stings
Cutting through the air
Stuck in this nightmare
Can't find my way out
Heart filling with doubt
To protect what was left
I had gone on this quest
To the Tower I came
Now I fear, all in vain
This is the second piece of this series of poems I have written.
As I mentioned before these stories told through poetry were all very much inspired by my personal life experience, and Stephan King's The Dark Tower series. I would also like to give a big shout out to the tech/death metal band Tethys, their latest single (as of the time of writing this) "This Too Shall Pass" gave me the inspirational push to finish putting my feelings into words.
