The Monster Within

It ripples through me

Lights my nerves aflame

Stress and anxiety

Turn into anger and rage

 

I want to kill my fear

I want to control it all

I shout, scream, yell and jeer

I don’t want to be small

 

So I become a monster

I strangle, stab and drown

My rage is an imposter

And it brings me so far down

 

Yet I feel so high

I rule over my body

The thunder inside

The power is godly

 

Driven by revenge and corruption

I become too strong

A short second, a moment of abruption

My agony has gone on far too long

 

But now, I can finally see

The darkness no longer clouds my vision

My terror has stopped controlling me

And I am out of my prison

 

Fury and madness is my drug

As my hands are smothered in blood

But, even though I have screwed up

This pain, this hate, it feels so good
