Power

True power

Is something greater than truth

Something greater than myself

Something that could break the chains that hold me back

The very chains that stop me from becoming greatness

But true power

No, it is not just a toy

It is not just something i can throw this and that

True power

Is truly too much

For any one being

For true power,

Is the reckoning of mankind

A reckoning that changes you

Changes you for the worst, regardless of who you are

Yes, for i'd rather be held back

With the chains that keep me content

The chains that keep me in check

Than have ultimate power

To make me go mad.
