Who I Am

[seeyat]

I have a bitter disgust
A dark, devouring statement
You have no right to choose what I trust
I'll be who I am no matter your abatement

You smother my soul, who I am at the core
Shining, silver pieces and gold
When all I have ever wanted and more
Can be found in the dark and the cold

I'll return to the night and find hope in the shadows
Away from these eyes in the days
Turn back the clock to how I repose
Still stepping silently in all ways

I was the night and I will be again
So far from your dreams of the light
In fairness I couldn't imagine this then
For the first time in years it feels right

You can fear me or hate me, whichever you choose
But this day is my beckoning call
For all those among you, unseen in recluse
To be there with me, soul and all

The devils, the dark ones, the demons and gods
All knowing the rights we should hold
I've finally found my own hand against odds
Reaching deep into blackness so bold

My eyes lit aflame as I stare through the void
Making way with each meaningful step
Your tragedy spoken unknown and destroyed
I've found now, what should have been kept
