Monster Within Me

Her screams tore through the air like lightning. The heavens heard in horror. The air collapsed under the noise as if to clap. My heart jumped. The pain was destroying my interior. I tried to collect my being, for if I hadn't it might have been my last move. The pain of anger ragged over me. God heard my pleas but ignored. I prayed what I hoped would be my last prayer. Tears splashed off the atmosphere, And flowed like I ragging river. I sat in the darkness. An Armageddon couldn't break the dead silence. I prayed and focused for my heart to stop. My heart and anger ragged like a fire from hell. I hoped that I would combust. My instinct was to scream in horror, But my body wouldn't allow me. My body lay so still as if to be a statue. My brain dreamed of images of horrific scenes of death. My blood ran hot with anger. The devil seemed to posses me. I begged the universe to destroy me or her. I couldn't hold myself. I blacked out from furiousness. My heart ran cold for her being. My brain wandered. Possibilities became clear. Something vital became immanent. The real monster was myself.
