I try to
Calm the waves
But end up
Drowning cities
I have no control
Over the darkness inside me

I blow
To put the fire out
But it only rages
Burning the remains
Of what was once green and alive

I try to
Resurrect the land
Planting flowers in brown soil
But only destruction comes
Everything I touch
Gets ruined
Dies
I fear
The darkness inside me

My hands
Are foreign to me
I do not recognize
My reflection
I do not know
Who am I
I only know that
There's a dark thing inside me
And I'm terrified of it
Of the things it can do
I have no control over
This dark think inside me

-Maybe instead of running away I should've faced it
