Eye to eye

 Look me in the eye, deep down

Embrace your loss as through the teeth I frown

As through the tears I scowl and snarl

And push through pain, I crawl so far

Wolf's grin, and haunted, restless breaths

Through ragged holes deep in my chest

Through rotten vacuum of a vanquished soul

Dreams, pale ghosts, lost and afoul

But bared teeth are sharp as steel

My fists wrapped in hot anger from within

My heart encased in armor of self-worth

Where others would elect to die, I'm moving forth

So look me in the eye, and then fuck off

Right here I rise, I had enough

Right here I make my last and hopeless stand

Look me in the eye, and fucking fret!
