Fury In My Gaze (Banshee Bones)

There’s a ferocity in me that could burn a city
And I walk in silence with their self pity
Coz I’m chomping at the bit
And I know I can take any hit
They could ever launch
Even when I dip my toe in raunch
But I need chains to hold me back
It is not evidence of something that I lack
The beast inside me roars when I see the lonely girl
Who looks out unto the world
And the child without a mother
Sister without a brother
All the crimes they’ve ever done
And what if I am the one
To nail the coffin shut, what if I strike wrong
Because this is not a song
This is a battle cry
And when I scream it someone will die
By my hand
I don’t need you to understand
Just to be prepared
Because a better man would be scared
Of all I am capable of
It’s just I do it in the name of love

  1. Beautiful poetry. I relate to what I am interpreting in your words. My fury is also born from love. I rarely write about the positive aspects of our world. I speak about the ugly things nobody wants to talk about or acknowledge, and the reason is because of love, not hatred. Thank you.

    1. Thank you so much for your words and your understanding Angela, that is the essence what I was hoping to convey, that love sometimes speaks with a strong voice, it has many flavours and truth does not mince its words. Love to you Angela and the gift your heart is to the world ❤️
