    i set fire to the stage
    i ignite the wistful crowds
    i burn off the age
    ain't no care about any shrouds..
    they cheered me on
    screaming " one more song "
    i force a smile and i go on again
    get down on my knees but shouting still, i fight this pain
    i sway and they sway with me as i get down all i hear is my name
    i search and research the crowd
    people creating a frenzy on meeting my lingering gaze
    ow! the speakers blaring so loud
    but my eyes don' rest and alas they're covered in a misty haze..
    i don' see him out there
    but my heart goes on still with a silent prayer
    disappointed , i shred another solo, moving my fingers in a burning frenzy
    my heart cries out loud .. and i scream louder..none then i can see
    i burn my fingers against my guitar
    the crowd screams and howls..i sweat it all out.my mind afar
    " you are no good" .. "
    " oh come on..get rid of that black hood"
    " i have no time to listen crap..its better if you study just as you should"
    " yeah right..ill come..ill see you perform..i have some feelings too.im no wood.."
    i can't take it anymore..and i throw it away
    the crowd howls louder..i stop.. i refuse to play
    they try and stop me but the look in those burning eyes stops them far from my way
    i splash cold the freezing water on my burning face
    its red with fury.." what's with me? " .. i am the ace
    i walk back home
    away from madness..all alone
    i knock and hear no answer
    i barge in
    there he is..still busy
    taking no notice of virtues or sins
    lying on the cot
    i think to myself, did i ask for a lot?
    he should've come, he was my brother
    but oh yes..he's busy as hell..he has others
    tears feel warm against my freshly washed hot face
    i try and pass another night in this god damned place
    i pick up my guitar
    play some more
    he won't notice
    he won't care
    i play loud..i beat the strings
    he knocks..i don' care
    he comes in and i smile
    as if he has some angel wings
    he stands there and i look up
    he screams " care to put it down or just the fu** up"
    right..here goes another thud over it is like every night
    i sleep on it yet again...fighting tears , fighting plight..

    silent prayer? Shredding solos? What, emo metal? Btw it looked real(was it?), going by the words, I'd call it intense and gripping, just like a good story... Poetry-wise, good.
