It is strong tonight
Calling to me to give up my fight
A worthless battle, one I try to win
The tears will be held back, is that a sin
It beckons to me
Calling to me to set it free
To let loose its deadly wrath
It’s angry at your chosen path
I’ve held it inside
Wrapped up with anger and pride
It claws at me from the within
Furious over the betrayal by kin
It wants to get out
So it can say what I won’t shout
It roars for justice from in my head
Screaming the words left unsaid
Can’t you feel it?
The righteous raging fire lit
Inside a dark demon holds me
Not an enemy but a friend you see
Feel the darkness
Decked out in finest battle dress
My savior, advocate and friend
Indomitable will that won’t bend
Fighting frantic for its way
I hold it within my mental sway
Watch out it begs to be unleashed
Fear the day that MY beast is released
Author notes
The word MY is in caps to emphasize that it is mine, a part of me.
Thanks for holding a good dark contest its been awhile since I've found one

There is a certain something inside us all that begs to be set free at times, for vengeance. Intriguing write. Thank you for your entry & best wishes in the contest!

For me I am reminded of all the things I would have said or done that never actually materialize. God, my words are eloquent when no one is looking and no one can here them. The images of what I would do in my minds eye that thank God never plays out. Hope you do well in this contest and it is so good to see you here. Comforting as so many just come and go never to be seen again. RC
