The Beast I Hate

I look in the mirror and I see a beast

If I ignore, on my soul it will feast

I cannot stand it, kill it, or even demand it

It lurks beneath stalking and waiting

Brooding, lusting, and even hating

My humanity fading into the black

The evil within will make me crack

Out with the demon to take over all

In with the human for the eternal fall

Oh well then, it must be my fate

This thing IS the beast I hate
