i am a monster...
not the kind of monster that ends worlds
but the kind that ruins lives.
an unseen beast lurking beneath the skin of a man.
maybe you have seen me before
somewhere deep inside yourself
in the places you dare not look;
buried beneath acrid smoke & heavy breathing.
or maybe i am alone
maybe i'm one of a kind or simply one of a few.
in constant struggle to keep it inside
& shield the ones i love from it's destructive capabilities.
and so, with head held low
i hide in a crowd of infinite numbers
safe in the cover of anonymity
constantly holding back the darkness that i know lurks within.
...until i reach the water.
and suddenly, all attempt at restraint become futile
as my mind goes blank & my darker side gains control.
calm yourself & accept that what you see before you is real
& hold back everything that clouds your emotions.
only you can stop this looming premonition.
make sharp your sword & make clean your spirit
& prepare to do what is necessary...
the time is at hand for you to accept
that you'll never amount to the thoughts in your head
& before you go searching for names in the stars
remember who showed you how lucky you are.
