The Dark Half

The Dark Half… Demons trapped inside of me Released for the world to see Awakened from their life-long slumber At last they’ve been set free My inner rage is the fire that fuels me My anger seethes from every pore No longer caged, my desire will rule me A bloodlust to even the score I am only half the monster being a man has made me The other half is like a forgotten dream Half the monster being a man has made me The dark half that you now see… I feel a rage like I’ve never felt before To inflict pain in a way that cannot be forgotten Years of suffering over, ended once and for all Laid to rest with the bodies of those I’ll leave for dead Call my name and in my own grave you’ll find me Spark to flame I will rise as you are falling I can’t explain, not in words but in violent actions Uncontrolled, exacting vengeance while slowly killing myself I am only half the monster that being a man has made me The other half is a forgotten dream Half the monster being a man has made me The dark half that you now see… …In a reflection of the world around me, I have become all that I have seen, At times, that which I most despise… The dark half that lives in me.
