The Battle Within

Elements once lost
Complete this painted picture
Tenfold in intensity
Compared to what I once knew
Let me feel the release
Bring me out of my solitude
But I dare not wake the beast
Valiant and hungry in nature
Its ability to destroy
Overpowers its ability to heal
Thus I remain broken
And yet comforted by rightous compassion
For the strength of this warrior
Doth not rival the fight
