Inside Me

Clawing me from inside, tearing away my skin

A faithless animal, snarling, crying in pain

Struggling to escape, bound in chains

Pure anger, despair and disdain

A power of darkness, a beast inside me

Shrieks escape my lips, pain blinds my sight

I hold it back lest the world cower in terror

Savage madness fills the mind, utter chaos is all it wants

It know not friend from foe, the world is the enemy

Standing alone, the beast inside me

It becomes me, when the world doesn’t see

I let it free to consume me, my darkness...myself

I revel in the power I feel, invincible, beautiful

I look around, I see

The beast...its me

Accepting the beast within can set you free. Still trying to allow myself to do that.

Thats the real you, why hold back.
But to be honest even I struggle, lest I scare the people around me.

I relate all too well to this one.
