I am the monster inside

Just something that came to mind in between classes.

It devours me
Eats my insides, chips away at my core
Not passion but desire
Not need but greed
A greed for power
A lust for strength
A monster that dwells deep inside

I know it's evil
But I feed it
Fueled by my hate
Strengthened by my envy
And I revel in its power

It awakens me in the morning
Hardens my resolve in belief
Chills my sense against depression
And it taints my very soul

I am the monster inside
I reap what I sow
Trust no one like the demon commands
I am the monster inside
