Double dare

I dare you, to be real
To touch a flickering flame
The pangs of dark delight
Don't cower in night fright.

Don't back away just yet
From destinations set
I dare you to be proud
To dare to shout aloud
For convictions that you feel
Like sound from bells to peal
I dare you to speak of your despire
For bureaucracy, hypocracy--all liars

I dare
I dare
I dare -- You -- You
