THE DEMON IN ME

 

hurtful words they throw at me 

hateful shades they spite me 

wanting to see my inferno 

hey! my conflagration can’t be contained 

they test my patience 

fingering my calm while I’m berserk 

if my goat dear turns back 

it’s whole anger will be told in its horn 

don’t make me become the monster I tame 

don’t make me lose what will consume us all

this demon has pleaded to be released 

the cage bar is wearing out 

I have contained lava for too long

not sure if I am still strong

for if I let go of my sanity 

generations will label me destroyer
