There are times when faults are taken too seriously. That it's a stride to be okay with the dark inside. Today, there's a fire. A fast licking flame, steady and pure. There's a power in knowing what you have growing inside. What you know you are- and you choose to wield it.  Not to others destruction, but to your own advantage. To seek the power from within to further yourself to another place. A better one. Even the purest intentions can end in chaos when not directed properly. Today, I am the tiger that calmly lets you pet her. We both know full well what I am capable of.
