The Stranger

I am the stranger that lives inside of you i am with you every day When the world reaches out and slaps you i come out to play I feed from your anger for all that you seen All the broken promises and unrealised dreams I rattle the cage you keep me in longing to be free I fill your light with darkness, taking hope with me With every slap i am stronger, weaker is my cage I will one day consume you i am rage.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
