yMinors on the Back Rank Watching Fredthebear
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

Generally, such placement is not a good idea because piece mobility is decreased on the edge, but sometimes it works out swell. This collection is much more exciting than it sounds.

Hindsight
I was used to the abuse, used to the towers
I was used to being used, used to your power
it makes me sad looking back, I was in the present accepting presents while you were hiding in the black, keeping secrets, turning your back on me and everything I offered, I thought you were better than you were guess it's my first mistake to think you wouldn't put me up at the stake watch my ivory skin be engulfed in flames
watch your baby burn away
if it means that you can survive by the skin of your teeth tried to run and run with my tired feet
tried to undo all you have done to me
tried to keep the door open in case you came running back to me I like broken birds, I like empty words
I like chess pieces, I like idealistic worlds
you fit my trauma like a glove, manipulation to get my love but you had another, arguably better
older, more secure, not a country over
but in turn, you made me feel insecure
a tragic mess continuing to dismantle
unravel like ribbons, uncovered the truth due to visions I received, the seeds I reaped
protection is given to me by deities
I am not one for fighting but refuse to wave the white flag you shot me and now I must burn down your creations in a red flash every web of lies, web of secrets
I set ablaze and sit back like the grim reaper
