Giving In
Temptation is bred from fear,
a fear of not only loss,
but an even greater fear
of being powerless to prevent it.
In the face of fear,
those who live in darkness,
lash out against it;
their fear wears the mask of anger.
The mask takes on its own life,
draining it from the wearer
until the mask is the ruler
of a heart and mind lost.
