Bout with a MonsterA Poem by Leviathus Fortes
I am the monster
The one you have trapped inside I want you And from me you cannot hide Don't close your eyes That won't break me Or even make me go away I'm here to stay And there's nothing you can say To counter me And I will never let you be Alone and free I have a desire And each and every day I aspire to devour you Every single hour you are haunted By a beast like me A feast you'll be When I finally sink my teeth in Your only friend At least that is what I'll make you think of me Can't you see That there's no escaping this Forget your bliss Positivity is meaningless And endless are the possibilities Waiting for me And I make this decree Can you be Someone who can conquer me I give you just one chance And with failure, you won't advance So what's your choice Let's hear your voice How can you stop Something that is unstoppable Something so big It is untoppable Last chance What will set you free? One word for you What word? ME!! Nice try, but now you lose And there is only one path to choose Come with me Your only way And I'll be turning All of your blue skies to gray One chance And you've just blown it Now I'll make you suffer And you shall own it I don't think so What's this now? The game is over You have lost Take a bow I said, NO You disagree? The only answer you could muster Was a simple ME Believe it What is there to believe? Belief in ME Is all that I will ever need It's useless To you, perhaps Your kind always fails You'll just relapse It's called Faith I call your bluff Faith in ME is all I have It will be enough I'll take that And raise you DEPRESSION Then you're about to learn One of life's many lessons Test me I implore you to Then the very moment that you are through I'll encompass And devour you whole What will save you then? What I have My soul ME... ME is the freedom that I always have ME can lift me up when I'm feeling bad ME is the driving force behind The ME that makes up both my heart and mind ME is the breath that I take each day ME is the one who makes my way ME is the one who always will receive If ME is the one who I always believe in ME is the one who will always achieve If ME is the one that I look to for guidance ME is the one I trust to be beside And ME is the only path that I choose With ME there's no way that I can ever lose But you always come along With the same old tired song And between the two of us I don't take you seriously So I ask you now to walk away You know that I'll be back someday I'll be waiting And on that day that we both meet I'll have you bowing at my feet And you'll have to retreat Defeat is the only thing you'll every find Because I won't let you inside My mind or heart So depart And don't start to try and manipulate It's too late You're nothing more Than second rate Time to wave goodbye Our time is done I can't believe that you find this fun You see that you're nothing But an enemy And to be free I simply have to be nothing more Than what you see The only thing I've got to be To set me free Is something you can't take... And that thing is ME!! I'll be back... And I'll still be here But I'll be casting you in my shadow Goodbye And good riddance! © 2015 Leviathus Fortes |
