My mind fumbles for control In a feeble attempt to assuage The war drums that are beating inside my heart Lightning arcs through my back As I lash out around me Reason is left beaten and humbled Allowing my emotions to run rampant Anger, fear, and hopeless arise from the maelstrom That most would call their souls My eyes bleed sadness It coagulates on my cheeks The fire that filled my inner furnace Slowly dies down Until not a single ember remains.
