Rage

Rage

My rage, it expires
down deep to desires
but I must keep the fight
to turn on the light. 
But the light is the sun 
and surely everyone
must feel its effect. 

Well, except if you're a defect like me.
Except if you deflect like me. 
Except if you conflict like me. 
Does anyone live like me? 
Does anyone *perfect* like me? 
Is anyone poetic like me? 
Is anyone in pain like me? 
Is anyone in disdain like me? 

Light hurts my eyes
light hurts my brain
and I wonder if I can still tame
the beast inside me as it starts to roar, 
and all the while the light shines more. 

When *will* this hell end for me? 
But peace has prices to pay
as I go to live with the fae
and fight on to see another day.
