Do not dare to tell me who I am.

Do not presume to know me, or think you are providing me with insightful revelation.

Instead, let me enlighten YOU…

I am the 3am riotous peace. I am the racing heart of a cowering beast. I am pure indulgence and dramatic speech. I am the notes of the beat that speaks and the quick creak of ice cracking under your notorious foot. I am the mountain and its ridge, the hiker stunned at the precipice. I am the snow that sits at the very tip. I am the rider that mounts the waves, that counts the days ’til all the drops of the sea dry away. I am all rage and timidity. A bubbling cauldron of thick and unfounded righteousness. I am warped and amused, truth disguised in a perfect hoax, using abuse to save the abused. I am the soothing hand that tends the bruises made by the shots I shoot. I am the fragility that coats a melting pillar of tenacity, and here, I drip down in gathering lines of vengeful compliance.

I am breeze and silence. Restraint and defiance.

I am all love and destruction. Release and obstruction.

And you… you…

Do not presume to know me.
