Been stuck on this one for a few days... but I ain't gonna force it, eventually it'll finish itself (or not, which is okay, too). (EDIT: I think I'm done with it.)

24 HOURS

This place...
Land of the ignorant devil.
That face...
Haunting me on a new level.
Never...
Never again will I be the victim.

*spoken*
I will not be your victim.
I'm not one to be picked on.

In 24 hours, can't believe how much I've lost.
Won the battle, but at what cost?
It's like a one-sided coin tossed.
And you just happened to call heads.
But believe me, you will tell no tales.
In 24 hours, everything's gone to hell.

*before this point is the original post... After is stuff written 3:30 PM the same day, posted at about 4:00*

A race...
To the tip-top of the food chain.
Make haste...
Or I may find myself slain.

I will not die like a bitch, son.
I'm not one to be picked on.

In 24 hours, can't believe how much I've lost.
Won the battle, but at what cost?
It's like a one-sided coin tossed.
And you just happened to call heads.
But believe me, you will tell no tales.
In 24 hours, everything's gone to hell.

I will not live this way.
Being scared every day.
I will not live this way.
One must go so one may stay.
And I will not live this way.

A chase...
But the tables have turned.
Displaced...
You better be concerned.
Never...
Never again will I be the victim.

Next 24 hours, your existance will be lost.
I don't give a **** 'bout the cost.
Next 24 hours, you're going straight to hell.


Thoughts? Too cliche?
