I see you, my dearest friend, 
and the rage that burns within your heart. 
I watch as each day a bit of you slips away, 
like sand in an hourglass.
I feel your power awakening within, 
while you try to contain it.

You created a life to protect you,
and those you love.
You try stop the truth from coming out,
denying yourself from finding love.
You made it so that you would waste away,
dying from the inside out.

Why can't you love, my friend,
is the truth so terrible?
Why can't you see that,
your family will be behind you?
Why can't you live the life,
that you know is part of you.

But its the rage that stops you,
from doing what you yearn to do.
It made you empty and silent,
always observing.
Not destructive anarchist rage,
but rage at the world around you.
Not rage fueled by hate and loathing,
but rage at the injustice and destruction of others.

One day you'll lose me, my friend,
the only part of you that matters.
Don't let the inferno consume you,
don't burn away your core.
You are the only one who can save us,
from becoming naught but a camera.
A camera forever watching,
till the time when the world must burn.
I don't know what to say really...

This is exactly what I experience every day. People never realise and whenever I try to explain to someone I choke up and cannot talk or I try to escape.

I've tried explaining to others in the only way I can - through writing and I've yet to succeed. obiwanskywalker178.deviantart.… That is my attempt.
