Hidden Pain
I fight hate with every breath
concealed in self-control
Beneath the surface evil haunts
the peace within my soul
These tortured thoughts which fill my head
are tearing me apart
From deep within I feel the pain
of questions in my heart
My peace of mind is faltering
but how long shall it last
Before I relive all the pains
within my tortured past
The battle rages inwardly
to mask constant deceit
Transformations of the soul
are all but incomplete
I'm stuck between the man I am
and who I use to be
My attempts at peace are useless
since I'm bound by misery
All the terrors and the pain
have finally taken hold
As I fight hate with every breath
concealed in self-control
