Lord

Staring at the monitor I sit..
Feeling something;
I don't know what
It is..

Can't explain
Can't define
The fear, the pain
Of letting things
Flow away in vain..

Not just a test I have 'morrow,
A challenge.
To fight against the rusted brain
I have to try,
To focus
I have to strain...

A diamond I have to make
Of dark coal
Determination I have to make
Of my dark brain...

Heat I have to feel
Through numb skin
Light I have to see
Through blind eyes

The noises won't stop;
Get used to it,
I have to
Fight back
I have to.
Give it the best
I have to

You there,
Mocking me,
Mark my words.


With new confidence
I shall rise
To emerge as
Lord of the Wild.
