Truth or dare,
Truth,
Tell my why,
Dare,
Dare me to leave,

Look away once,
I vanish,
Look back,
All you see is what you should regret,

A magic trick,
Pick a day,
Any day,
And you will see the opposed inevitable,

The drowning tears,
Pleading eyes,
I back away slowly,
Only to see you advance,

Thrown chairs,
Demonic occasions,
A scared descendant,
Towered over the rogue,

Pick a day when I prevail,
You're only looking at today and tomorrow,
Maybe even the destined.

This is about a family member who tried to steal my joy and identity, but who won in the end.
