Feral Smile

The darkness swells up
I try to shove it back down
It shows on my face
The fake smile turning feral
All take a step back
Leaving me all alone
I wish to hurt
To kill
To erase all memories of evil
While I watch the read pool grow
I have released the anger
The red pool becomes sticky and discolored
I play with it
I sit in the middle of it
All while watching the life die
It was by my hands
I was the source of this pain
Shock springs up through the sludge
That darkness which swirls in my mind
Where did these thoughts come from?
Why have they brought an evil smile?
I know I fear of hurting anyone
No matter how much they wrong me
I have never raised my hand before
Yet the bloodlust is strong
Brings a joyful smile upon my lips
An obscene laugh bubbling up from within
Do you fear me yet?
