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 despise 

For bureaucracy, hypocrisy- all liars 



I dare 

I dare 

I dare, you, you
