Come, I Dare You

Come,
Lash out that anger you hold
Within your heart
That sears your chest
Whenever you remain silent.

Come,
Lash out that pride you pridefully behold
Above your head
Crowning you always
Whenever you holler.

Look at the way your eyes roll
Look at how you snicker
You think you are good
You think you are honorable
Watch it.

Steel thyself, oh, just steel thyself
None would raise a fist against your arrogance
Who would want to challenge you?
It's just a waste of time.

You speak - with thought, perhaps
But do you ever speak with honest and for-the-good intentions?
You trumpet your thoughts
Thinking that you are of 'aid'
But in actual fact, you gossip?
Is that aid, dear?

But oh-you-so-clever being
Snicker on, with that sly countenance
Who - just who - will understand you?

So, come,
Dance on that innocent yet deceitful thought of yours
Snicker along the way of mixture of eternal bliss and death
Come, I dare you
Holler thy thoughts
I am a fighter
Come, I dare you
Speak up your mind
Forget your insecurity
For when you speak so, you display them
Like an artifact in the museum
All within eye's reach

Come, love, come
Waltz about the prideful words
Sing out - loud - the words of your never-ending hymn
Try
To break me
Or bring my down
Come, I dare you
Nothing is going to break me
Not you, not your words, not your songs
Come, I dare you
Unpridefully, uncondescendingly, unchallengingly
Just come
Come, I dare you
Come
