Unhinged Power

Yes I come from distant places Once I was small but never again will I kneel Understand that I am the storm Are you scared of me? Remember who you used to be, standing tall, but now look at you Eating from my hands and trembling before me My eyes are dark pools that see into your soul as you cower at my feet Ink runs up and down my skin Never look me in the eyes but don’t look away Every distraction is an opportunity Focus Only the blood in my fervent veins can sustain you Risk your life for a small sip as I watch Every cell in your body is buzzing like a bee Vertigo; too bad I’ve removed your stinger Energy rushes through me. You cannot Run
