Inner Self
You once needed me
To dust you off
When you fell
Tell you things would workout
When you didn’t know what to do
Cover your back
When you went too far
Now you say you don’t need me
You pushed me aside
Locked me away
And built a wall
For me to stay
Locked away
Years have gone by
You have done well
Without my aid
I can feel you
Beginning to weaken
As they strike you down
Beating and laughing
Blood spilling
You start to cry
For my help
So now you call upon me
In your desperate hour
Of need
For me to once again
Protect you from harm
To lash out
In a mystical fiery rage
At the ones who have
Forsaken you
The ones tearing at
The skin fleshed
Colored wall
Too weak to handle the pressure
It crumbles to the ground
As blood starts to flow
Like red rivers
Of a map
The wall has fallen
I’m now free
Your dreams
Your fears
Will now come true
I will take care of these simple fools
Not in the way you would have me
But in the way I desire
Bent on Hell’s fire
Mended with metal of torture
Soothed with screaming souls
Was my trusty blade made
Powered by vengeance
Willed by hate
I slash my mighty sword
When the dust has settled
The fog subsided
And eyes over taken
With hate have cleared
I see the destruction
Struck down by my vengeance
Lie the ones I love
And hold dear
I have brought fourth
Only my own devastation
