A monster making harsh demands,
Like a bristling thorn, here I stand;
I crawl and squirm within your angst,
A serpent tipped with poisoned fangs.

Hit on my head to have me dead,
You can't, (for) I dwell inside your head;
A guilt trip burning like wild fire,
I'm your chest's untamed desire.

Your inner child, I'm the dark one
Your ego boost, I'm your mean gun;
A black figure with grey shadow
Yet colourful like a rainbow.

Forfeit me to some burning coal
To make your life better and whole.

=====

I guess if the darkness called selfishness is destroyed from every soul, there will finally be peace inside us all... But, I guess that is the cliché in itself...

whatever !
Preach not, for the ears do not listen the sounds of the dumb (?) ...

maybe I am reinventing the wheel, eh?

Hi Sudhir, nice to see you. This is amazing, harsh and well deserved, I'm thinking. Great write.
