Tempered Rage

By DarkDruidess

I feel like I should be pounding keys
Tearing up this keyboard with rage
But the moonlight is too bright
I find myself wanting to search for fairies
Chase fireflies into the trees and
Love with all my being…
 
But hatred is forcing its way into
My carefully crafted haven
Leaving me torn, conflicted once again
Doubtful my voice will ever be heard
Everything is so black and white
Nothing left for the in-betweens
 
I can feel my soul dying while
I yearn to finally breath free
Like the river rushing towards the sea
Still wanting to speak loudly for once
Just for once finally scream…
Stop…please just stop
 
Slow this road I am on
I finally found my heaven
Don't take it away from me
Blasted from both sides, nowhere
To hide and find refuge
Immersed but totally alone
 
Meanwhile outside the world burns
I wither while wanting, praying
For a light to finally shine
That keeps me in mind
But I doubt that light will
Reach my existence
 
There is just too much
Each swing is too far, too extreme
Till everything is just babble
And nothing matters anymore
I can't find my center
The middle is gone
