on rage

because I remember fire burning in my heart—

hot poison dripping out of my eyes like a leaking tap

rage, an unfailing companion by my side,

a sword that sang as I swung it

I remember feeling as if the world was against me

and I could take it on alone

I remember embracing the roaring rage in my heart

clutching onto it like a last lifeline

watching as those flames rose ever higher

and devoured all that stood in its path

a blank smile on my face

and then with each falling grain of sand

the warmth in my limbs drained away

leaving me cold and empty and dark

curled up like a wounded animal

because the price of giving in to that monster

is having everything crash down around you

waves engulfing you as you stand alone

against the same world you declared war on
