i have no anger in me
only ingenious defiance
learning as a little child
the freedom of imagination
to escape the domination
of stupid mindless adults

now at this time of life
i am almost one of them
but still with some tricks
still willing to play
the defiance entrenched
inner child shocked

conserve
the precious eyes
listen selectively
move lightly
listen carefully
burn brighter

invited to be ugly
demure

getting used to horror
makes one a horror
