A ray of sunshine

I'm a freaking ray of sunshine,
I'm a ball of sassy light,
I'm the thunder and the lightning
and the blackness of the night.
I'm the whispers in your nightmares,
and the smiles in your life.
I'm a hollering hyena 
and the light that's blinding white. 
I'm the skylight in the hell hole,
and the shoulder for your tears.
I'm the water in your nose
and the voices that you fear.
I'm the scary quiet shadow
with the booming blasting voice.
I'm the fire that will burn you;
I will brandish any torch. 
I explode in bursts of colors
and I glow with energy.
I surf along tsunamis –
that's the confidence in me. 
Oh, you think I'm joking?
Think I'm weak and I'm benign? 
I'm the devil's rival enemy –
a freaking ray of sunshine.
