Howl at the moon / Holler

Howl at the moon

Battle the torturous night
Struggle against the all enveloping darkness,
Don't bask in the moonlights' hazy pallor.

Let go of the insanity
Dance with abandon,
With two fingers up at propriety.
 
Embrace the light
And welcome reality,
Return from the shadows.

Set yourself free

Holler

Holler at the light
Creep back into the safety
Hide amongst the gloom

Raise a fist in defiance 
Repel those who invade 
Guard your fortress of gloom.

Accept that you are doomed
And delight in others displeasure
With one finger up to society

Battle against expectations
Let there be shade,
From the daily slaughter 

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Could these be the thoughts of Soul Keeper? I loved these lines:

Accept that you are doomed
And delight in others displeasure
With one finger up to society

Battle against expectations
Let there be shade,
From the daily slaughter

I haven't any suggestions for the work, only appreciation.

love, Cat
