The Dark Beast

The Dark Beast

There is a dark beast that wants to bust out of its cage,
It’s full of rage,
And for war against the light, it’s ready to engage.

It’s eyes are fiery burning red,
There is a fierce battle to keep it inside my head,
Because that it gets out, is something I really dread.

It’s furious scream rattles my brain,
It’s dark force I am finding hard to contain,
My composure difficult to maintain,
As access to my heart, it’s trying desperately to gain.

For mishap, it hungry and ready to feed,
It wants to see me bleed,
But it will not succeed,
Because to never give it that pleasure, with my higherself I agreed.

Because I am stronger and with my light, it, I will blind, 
The unconditional love within, I will find,
So I keep that dark thing away from heart and caged somewhere deep deep in my mind.
