“Tybalt”

I am dark and mysterious.
I wonder why the world shutters.
I hear the thunder.
I see the lightning.
I want to fight.
I am dark and mysterious.

I pretend to be good and not evil.
I feel the deathly current.
I touch the lightning.
I worry for my life.
I am dark and mysterious.

I understand the mystery of life.
I say very little.
I dream of heaven and hell.
I try to succeed in battle.
I hope I do.
I am dark and mysterious.
