The Untamed Beast Within
Inside, emerges a feeling so complex and untame
Bursting through every thought traveling through every vein
Finally, comes a stop to wondering when, where, or why this all came
Enraged and engulfed... I have become one with this pain.
I notice nothing... not the wind, not the people... this monster is all that I claim
For the time being, I have but one purpose... I have but one aim
The temptation forces me into the nether... I am to drive myself insane.
Looking up at the sky... lost in my mind... what am I to gain?
I do not wish to perish... I dare not play this game
Risking it all... whispers within me ask this pain for it's name
Hate, anger, despair, stress, envy, fear, shame and self blame.
This beast is too wild.. one that is too reckless for one mind to contain.
The paradise I once assumed is now a sleeping desert with dreams of falling rain.
What happened? Where am I? I remember a sharp black and red ray...
I cannot tell whether this desert is turning day into night or night into day...
Can it be that this beast has taken over... and is here to stay?
I notice the black ravens in the red sky... thus, I begin to pray.
I sense it coming from millions of miles away...
As if it were a nemesis and I am its prey...
I stand up; cold sands have pierced me from where I lay
My nemesis is behind me... Speechless, I have prepared nothing to say.
I turn around to witness my greatest deception..
Standing in front of me is my very own reflection!
"Obey me" he whispers, "The ravens will give you guide and protection."
I still cannot speak, thus I am forced to pay this demon my full attention.
One by one the evil birds come to my shoulders and rest...
This black hearted demon seeks only to be the very best...
Burned on my neck a black tribal symbol, I wear the demon's crest.
The birds lift me up and fly me far away, heading to the raven's nest.
