The Demon Within
The Demon Within
Anger is thy name.
Predictable, yet not.
A true demon lurking within –
Waiting to erupt and consume my soul.
You take over my thoughts.
You conquer my entire being and
Quell my objections.
You are relentless and unforgiving.
You change the course of my day in an instant –
Just by your mere existence.
Anger is thy name.
My pulse is racing.
My head is throbbing.
My entire being is on fire –
Ready to explode into oblivion.
As your intensity builds,
I begin to lose total control.
I begin spiraling downward –
Into the depths of the inferno you created.
Anger is thy name.
Each time you appear,
I fight you with all of my might –
Trying to defeat you and send you to your grave.
If even for a short while –
To be free of your irrepressible rage.
Yet as the fierce eruption begins,
I realize I have once again lost the interminable battle.
My will no longer exists –
I am, yet again, no match for you –
For your unceasing strength and determination to destroy me –
To destroy all that I am and
All that I believe in.
Anger is my name.
I am unforgiving and relentless.
I will destroy everyone and everything that crosses my path.
My wrath has no limits.
I am merciless and
I will find you.
