Play to Pain
January 5, 2023
The ending of an Intense backyard war
The mass of bullets in the air diminishes
Slowly using up the ammunition, alas
Out of ammo, I slowly recede to the enemy
My ankle kicks the back of a brick; I lose balance
I tripped back, then fell into a fiery pit of charcoal
Then my clothes and skin burning
I put my hands on the coals
Attempting to push myself out
Braking out rolling onto the grass
The burnt skin resembles the smell of a crematorium
A herd of swears disperse from my mouth
whilst feeling pain from the heat.
I came out with unrecognizable skin left to scars
