The Shadow Within Me

The Shadow Within Me

A Poem by Mark Best

It bleeds through

Like blood through cloth

It infects

Like the worst disease

It stains

Like so much blood on my hands

 

Madness

It’s the bringer of madness

Violent

It’s too violent to care

Evil

Its evil in me

 

This world corrupt

It will infect

Killing all at my expense

I struggle with it

But it always wins

Taking over with anger and sin
