A Fiery Spirit

Mythical girls #6

Mass of tangled knots

Snarled thoughts

Raven hair

So lovely fair

 

Cruel hands

Jagged structures

A ghostly wind

Blown away

 

A though of smoke

Drifts softly

To tell, you know

A wild things lives

 

Within my soul

Trying, thrashing, tearing apart

Any logic

In my mind

 

A raging darkness

A future so bleak

My songs

Are left

 

Everything pushed to one last

Resort

Combing through darkness

So drawn up

Confused

 

Tightened coils of fury

Deep within my bones

Shackles of torment

Burn my wrists and throat

 

Nails wracked across my skull

Pain searing throughout my mind

Too long, too short

Imperfect

 

I am everything in this world

That is wrong in your eyes

I am death, I am shadow

The smoke, smog, and dust

 

That clings to your throat

Defying your thirst

I am night, the moon

Pixie dust, enchantment, and illusion

 

Twist, shimmer, wild things

Freak, Goth, vampire, imp, faery

I shift

Constantly

I am different

Spontaneous and just a little bit crazy

 

Didn't think about that, now did you?

 

That too far off

For you to comprehend

 

Now lets see

How you do

Now that your world has been turned

Upside down

One of yer best! Colliding fears n' logic smash into hope n' dreams, n' hope wins! N' contains two shimmering verses, that are thrilling n' achingly-beautiful words to live and die by:

"I am everything in this world
That is wrong in your eyes
I am death, I am shadow
The smoke, smog, and dust
That clings to your throat
Defying your thirst
I am night, the moon
Pixie dust, enchantment, and illusion."

...Right the f**k ON! ㋡
