Trust Myself
Deep within the enclosing confines.
Of a mind so monstrous, so malicious.
As the sick, twisted hatred bares down upon me.
Is this really the world we've created ourselves?
Looking around me, I see nothing but pain.
It seems the real monsters live inside our own heads.
I can see him, he clouds my vision.
He is there, weighting me down.
Staring at me, with intent so malevolent.
To act innocent, how hard he tries.
To act like a friend, the attempts he makes.
But I know better than to trust myself.
He is all I have tried so hard to suppress.
For here I sit, teetering on the knife's edge of death.
So sadistic, so spiteful; his presence consumes me.
The overwhelming urge to lash out, to cause harm.
The urge to be anything but man, I cannot take it.
This creature, I gave him form, a true purpose.
To those surrounding me, the danger draws near.
If I were to set free this beast, would my soul be safe?
This creature inside of me, how it yearns for its freedom.
As humans we destroy ourselves, looking on in ignorance.
Nothing we do now, can hope to repair a damage so great.
We have nobody else to blame, there's no going back.
I can see him, he clouds my vision.
He is there, weighting me down.
Staring at me, with intent so malevolent.
To act innocent, how hard he tries.
To act like a friend, the attempts he makes.
But I know better than to trust myself.
He is all I have tried so hard to suppress.
For here I sit, teetering on the knife's edge of death.
So sadistic, so spiteful; his presence consumes me.
The overwhelming urge to lash out, to cause harm.
The urge to be anything but man, I cannot take it.
This creature, I gave him form, a true purpose.
Time and again he makes his bid to escape.
He is the darkness within me; the beast to my humanity.
With so much intent to destroy this world around us.
Slowly we fall asleep, listening to the screams of our demons.
When will we awaken to the mistakes we have made?
Maybe, just maybe; it's already too late, we're too complacent.
