To Die or Return

in your void

i hear voices

that guide me to places

an escape from my messes

 

“lift up your gun son

and run to the battleground

seize their cannons

and come back to the town”

 

enemies on the shore

is back to kill you once more

the death you escaped before

is back mi amore

 

so the voices said,

“fight like a hero

roar like a hero

die like a hero

or come back like a hero”

About- This poem is part of my poetry collection titled "Folklore: The Folk Tales of Summer", which is written based on the stories sang by Taylor Swift in her 8th studio album folklore. This poem is based on the song, "epiphany" and is about James going to fight in war to forget Betty while he is depressed.
