Beast Beneath

Madness… Characters, actors… In my mind doth play Presence, until the curtain call Unknown, then afraid! Seek to quell the voices Run amok and askew In depths, directors scream “action” Then, they take their cue! Next, Frantic desperation, panic! The fray to change their will Only thing to stand between the nightmare and the darkness now A mislaid bottle lost, accompanied by suppressing pills Amid mirrored reflections on the wall The evil grins begins to grow Cool breezes of the rotting stenches From cities dark alleys upon my skins bestow Into the night, lusting for fleshly desires Gaslight lamps of familiarity ambers glow Amongst victims in the mist of crusted, dirty streets of ire Eclipsing, remnants of sanity left to passions throes!
