Silent as the grave,

Deadly as sin

I prey from above,

While I spy from within.

I wage war with the weak,

Seek peace with the strong

Finding art in the air,

Filling your ears with song.

I twist with sorrow,

I bend with grief

I break with regret,

I shatter in disbelief.

I kill your fond memories,

I make real your fears

I take away happiness,

And replace it with tears.

I am body, I am soul,

I am not generous, nor kind

Do you know who I am yet?

I am Master, I am Mind.
