Untamed Reflections

It gets too much
I hold back, shielding you from parts of me
you should never have to fear.
Some truths, I keep locked away,
deeming them unnecessary for you to bear.

Yet, you control me
mind, heart, and the depths of my soul.
My intelligence does not intimidate you,
nor do you come as a red-eyed agent of corruption.
You found me on this journey of reflection,
a presence I never sought, yet cannot deny.

I protect you, keep you covered
look into my eyes as you take my soul.
You already know what you want,
you already know what is.
Take me there.
The rage lies in wait, tempered, but never tamed.
