Eyes open to forbidden sight,
Body forces amid unpleasant delight,
Refuse to judge- obscurity or vivid light?
But then rush forth with mighty insight!
Gamut of might, yet dread lingers-
Known fear for those unknown avengers,
Swing to those forces, unstoppable;
Then welcomes wounds, skin vulnerable.
Racing heart continually pleads for rest,
But bewildered mind repels its quest;
Exhausted perspiration, and thirsty ocean
Within my inconsolable irate frustration!
