"You never cross the ocean unless you have courage to lose sight of the shore"


There's more blood on the ground than in my own body.
There are more spears in my hand than school books.
There are more fights than childish games.
There's more screaming coming from my mouth than talking.
There are more beasts inside of all of us then I thought.


The author's comments:
What inspired this piece is the book Lord of the Flies. This poem really in my opinion summarizes what real beasts the boys have become in the book.
