Types of Conflict #Poems Set 3: Vs Self and Vs Supernatural

Posted on May 24, 2019 by Charles Yallowitz

Last set of Conflict poems.  Enjoy!

Person Vs. Self

A struggle within the flesh
Deeper than the bones
Pulsing along the veins
Neurons
And the soul
The problem is not a ‘them’
It is a ‘me’
The hero is the villain
Battling to become a better self
A conflict we all have had

Person Vs. Supernatural

A threat beyond nature’s scope
Yet still part of the world
Ghosts and goblins in the shadows
Vampires feasting on supporting cast
The eerie ones thrive here
Pushing heroes towards darkness
Forcing them to think
Outside the box of reality and rules
Some in realms of magic and monsters
Where more than specters are along the path
That a bitter destiny has forged

    These are great and very thought provoking.

    Battling to become a better self
    A conflict we all have had–So true

    The eerie ones thrive here
    Pushing heroes towards darkness
    Forcing them to think
    Outside the box of reality and rules–a great description of the conflict
