I am the Destructive Force

the eruption that leaves you lost 

for words

 

I am the bursting forth

of the trauma you buried decades ago

that brings you to your knees

 

I am the seemingly endless pain

that makes you wish for death

that you may never again fear it

 

I am Maleficent on steroids

your worst fears realised

 

I am the knocking down, brutally, 

of all your defences, fences, barriers, pretences 

 

I am not pretty or meek

I show you where your weaknesses lie

because they are a lie

and I will not let them lie

 

I will not wipe the tears you think

I make you cry

 

I will push you off that cliff 

 

‘cause I already know you can fly
