It’s personal. All of it.

To hurt you is taken,

for you consider the defeat, a given.

If it isn’t for you to take,

why take fond in gain, you didn’t rake?

-

This is no war,

for that implies you and me face to face.

it’s our life,

lose the race with grace.

-

I fight with you,

Everyone that can be you.

Am a ‘you’ to you,

Don’t tell me it’s not personal.

-

Of course it is, 

All of it.

Blood doesn’t make a war,

We do.
