[e11even]

I was awoken at 3 a.m. by an ominous sight,
this enormous light outside my window.
This beam was no search-and-fìnd-your-keys type.
It -felt- organic, with flesh outlying its wierd glow.
Feeling prying eyes, I stayed low, trying to hide out of sight.
But its warmth didn't die in the cold of the snow.
Instead, it stalked the exterior and tried to climb into my mind!
-"We can sense your toils, Lucas. More than you know."-
Why the hell did they want me? Why was I still alive?
-"We save the fallen and give them control..."-
Sweating and panting, what was I to decide?
Anxiety the culprit, I would buckle and slow
At the threshold, knob trembling in my hand, knuckles white.
-"We are your saviors and knights, but one payment is owed..."-
Was I to be selling my soul? Paying for sins and plagues with my life?!
-"Escape that portal. Here your might and purpose will grow."-
I breached into the unknown as a bullied teen with a miscreant's rights...
In hopes that I'd be the current, rather than go with the flow.
"I'm yours if you can cleanse all I loathe. I won't fight..."
Buzzing ambience heightened, luminescence then rose.
Lost in its essence, I never asked why...

-"Be who you care to be. Be the man you know."-
I was lowered from the interior platform, renewed, full of spite.
Fuck that. I'll be the man that claims this globe and takes control!
Every nay sayer will die! -"we gave you ability to fly,
10 times normal strength, black matter explodes
From your fingers, and speed surpassing mach 5."-
