Feelings From Within

Somewhere from within the depths inside me,
Springs out this beast of hate and spite,
Here to make everone rue their own birth,
And squander what you have left inside.

Though you don't see this nor does anyone,
I'm too sweet and caring fr such an evil,
Yet here it lurks just beneath the surface,
Just waiting to sink it's claws into tender flesh.

There have been to many years of playing nice,
And being what everyone wants me to be,
Am I not to be my own person in this world,
To make my own mistakes and hurt from them?

No one knows I lost my soul long ago,
Here on the outside, I'm just some simple girl,
Not meant to be much and I need no touch,
Who needs affection when there is too much.

Maybe I should just learn to deal,
And make due with my life here on my own,
Tame this beast inside me and call it friend,
Or maybe I should just let it die and feel empty.

I'm not ht eonly one refusing to back down,
In a world full of so much chaos and hate,
Surely I'd be understood somewhere and accepted,
I'm not the only one refusing to go down.
