I Won't Compromise

I Won’t Compromise

I won’t back down, take down, step away, step back or quit; I’ll never think of acquiescing, nor just silently and idly sit

Look into the depths of my face, as death wears no disguise; I refused to stay buried in the pain that lives in compromise

I cash in on the ideas formed from the images that now bring me to elation

Blast Off

My chronometer moving backwards has reversed the normal trend

She was the bomb invoking destructive ideas, with which my mind could not contend.

Terrorism could never be, so well connected as was she.

Her detonator was in her hand, but the charge you could plainly see

Trapped

Trapped

Locked in a cage

Filled with pent up rage
