Magic burns underneath my skin
begging to be used
causing an aching that goes bone deep

I know not to use it
I know the pain it can cause
I know the sources

But I don't know of
the thrill of power
the strength that fills the body like blood

Nor do I know what it's like
to not be in fear
of becoming another statistic

One day, maybe, I'll use my magic
and I'll taste courage
and see fear in eyes that aren't mine
