The Beast Within

Post by lanaia74 »

He dwells in the deep dark corridors of my soul

The beast will never let me go

His demeanor is as black as coal

Of this I truly know.

The beast within

Hidden from others

They never know of his sin

His trail he always covers.

The beast within called pain

He smiles at my loss

On me he surely makes his claim

He makes me play his dreadful game.

He wants to swallow me whole

Possess me mind, body, and soul

While he laughs from his horrid knoll

He thinks he is good at taking his dreadful toll.

The beast resides within me

Fight, I do try

I wish he would let me be

What possesses him to do this? Please tell me why.
