The world cannot know
The power
That dwells in my heart
And in the hearts of All
For the world does not look
Past the veil of mist
I use to shield myself
As do All
And so I must ask
The world to step aside
Or else I
And All
Will brush the world aside

The author's comments:
This is one of my many anger inspired poems, but one of the few that actually makes any sense. It's basically about how society as a concept is no match for actual people.
