The Darkness
Burning, ripping, slicing through my veins
Filling my thoughts of naught but of anger
I can't escape, can't hide
This being inside of me laughing, glaring
Make it stop, tell it to cease
Stop this torture, this hell
Am I just an experiment, waiting to die?
Or am I not granted such luxury?
I'm a monster, a killer
Why won't it stop?
Tell it to go away, leave me alone
To stop whispering, breathing, in my ear
Saying I should die
Saying I have nothing to live for
A demon, a killer
With horns and fangs, bloodthirsty
Slicing lives away, innocent and care-free
But I am not. I'm a prisoner. I've sinned
They all hate me, they don't understand.
This thing inside of me, killing me from the inside out,
Tearing at my arms, my back, my chest.
I cry out yet no one will listen
Its sadistic grin as it sees me writhe
I see it even when my eyes are closed
Haunting me, stalking me
It will never, ever go away
The Darkness will never leave me alone.
