Think you know Me? Guess again

My personification of Magic. Just when you think you've gotten control over it, it runs from you, and you wonder if it even exists.

Who Am I? Substanceless as the air you breathe..
Yet you feel Me deep within you, mingled with the blood that seethes,
When your deepest raw emotions tear through to the surface of your being,
It is then that you feel all My power,
Directed at the ones that scarred,
The Gateway to Pain, I will keep barred,
Losing hold over your feelings?

In the moment that My power, proven to your doubting mind,
Feel Me surging through your every vein,
Invincible in every game,
Victor time and time again,
Know the feeling, know the vibe,
With a name, yet undefined.

To you, to one and all, ever elusive will I be,
Granting your wildest heart's desire, yet gone when you really need Me..
When you doubt Me, prove you wrong I will,
Over-confident in Me? Bend and break you like a quill.
Let your awe never transform into dull familiarity,
Never lay your claim upon Me,
Never tell yourself you know Me,
Don't you dare try to control Me,
All you will get is reality
Monotonous reality.

Very well written, painting images in my mind.
Good job!
