There’s a beast that I keep hidden deep,
I’m scared of the havoc I know it will wreak.
It’s so close to the surface, my hands start to shake,
And I feel the reality surrounding me quake.
I’m holding on by the tips of my fingers,
Fury burns hot, and no empathy lingers.

I sit down on the bed, squeeze a pillow tight,
Praying that I don’t break into the night.
If I go I’m not sure that I can come back,
I might do something that prevents that.
I don’t really know what I’m capable of,
The only ones safe are the ones that I love.

Because I’ll have no conscience, if I go under,
I’ll only see lightning, all I’ll hear is thunder.
I’m fighting with everything that I have,
And if I lose, things ‘round here could get bad.
So don’t come in, and please don’t touch me,
Because I’m not sure that I can control the beast.

I've stopped fighting my inner demons... we're on the same side now.
