The Demon Within by Casey Toh
Who is the Batman?
You might ask
To understand this
Look into his past
His parents shot down
When he was eight
His young soul died
No more needs to be said
The Bat rose up
To replace the void
He seemed to bounce back
Like a wounded coil
He took to the night
Like a shadow born
The demon inside
Comes straight from a spawn
A necessary evil
You might say
He keeps his dark side
Always at bay
He has to fight
To resist
To kill his enemies with
The power of his fist
The urge surges up
Every now and then
Hurting his tortured soul
Like coarse sand
I hope for him
His soul will find rest
For his efforts
Are already his best
