So Fated

To wander alone
With a fist clutched around emptiness
Bowed to nature but never to man
Searing words for the stars

And in the night I fade
In the night I become a shaft of moonlight
Rising
Born again from the earth at dawn
To struggle

Less than human
To be judged
So fated
Madness is in my blood
And my blood sings
