Agony

 Agony/

Is pounding, scree-/

-ching on my door, hounding me/

So I grab a ream/

Of paper and begin to shout and free/

These words from my heart, it's challenging/

As the pain keeps hounding me/

And the tears jab and sting/

At my eyes, I'm battling/

Another war, how could he/

Die, I thought we'd have a sea-/

  -son without a funeral, standing bleak-/

  -ly around a coffin as the gleam-/

  -ing bugle plays Taps and we/

Have to be/

Strong for the family/

Crowds will weep/

As shoulders slouch and heave/

With sadness leak-/

  -ing from their eyes haphazardly/

It's maddening/

Another year has passed and we/

Keep burying our elders tragically/

I don't know if I can stay around for these/

Tragedies/

Much longer, so I gaze passionately/

Out to sea/

And begin planning each/

Step of my escape back to me/
