Within me

Hassan Raza Hussain

Free verse
A boy lurks
A blasphemer, with malice
Desirer of dysfunction and chaos
He resides within
To watch everything break and crumble
Burn and turn to ash,
Is his aspiration
He does not hope , only despairs
And that despair he has turned into rage
He does not seek, only recedes
He is Everything I despise
But He, is me
