This Inside Of Me

This thing inside of me wants out

I feel it clawing

Ripping again.

It tears me from the inside out

Right where my heart should have been.

But that was eaten long ago

By a monster much meaner than this

I shared my thoughts and soul with it

And then it ran away and hid.

I think it's still there

Deep down

That anger and hate I used to feed

But now it seems that we dont speak.

So it never comes out

Not like it used to when I would let it

Bleeding from the pen in my hand and

The tears on my cheeks.

Now its sister speaks through me,

Using me as I am weak,

Slowly tearing into me,

The seeping ink hidden from the world to see

I just give in and let it flow

This heart of mine is now the home of

Sorrow.
