Eyes of Fire

Open your eyes, world, and see
I am not the silent one.

I am the thunder in your scream
I am the lightning in your tears
I am the tear in your masterpiece
I am the blade in your spite

I am the strong one.

I am the falter in your words
I am the break in your voice
I am the pain in your secrets
I am the rage in your reality

I am the wise one.

I am the breath in your pain
I am the smile in your grief
I am the crack in your praise
I am the fire in your eyes

I am the loving one.

Open your eyes, world, and see
I am not the silent one.
