The Shred-Along (Poetry)

1/13/2015

by Richard Rowell, Write W.A.V.E. Media Staff

Are you ready for the shred-along?

Frayed emotions are the backdrop

For our ruthless shred along

I tear you and you tear me

Is the pain and agony simply destiny?

I’ve grown tired of our run-along

Fixing to work towards a goal

That we never would make our own

I shred my skin just to bleed

I’m no longer afraid to fall down

For the flowing crimson rivers

Mean I still have life to beat

While you stumble and drag

Your feet along this street

One-way and unlit, you lag

You’ve fallen behind my friend

In our so epic shred-along

I’ve got a tale to tell no doubt

You’ve got sad stories to tell

But I got no more to figure out

Sadly, dear, you’ve lost the shred along

You’re broken and battered and shattered

I’m beat and bloodied but I still stand

And you taught me the ending never matters

It’s how you take the hits that make you a man
