On the Inside

301 22 9
                                    


A sea of angry red
Made of pain and unshed tears
Filled with the song of dread
Past the surface Light disappears

In the dark depths it lurks
Wild and dangerous
Preparing to strike and hurt
With its intent heinous

A knife to many in its back
A snarl made from its own fear
It rears ready to attack
Anger forms its jagged spear

Stopping this wolfish horror
And it's need of gore and bloodshed
Is like one man winning a war
Against many who want him dead

If I do not cage this dreadful anger
Either my loved ones will be injured
Or none shall see a white banner
Leaving my heart cold and withered

But throughout all this pain and fear
An island of blazing light remains
Light that'll forever remain here
Filled with strength that never drains

Both of the forces will always fight
In the battle of the island's tide
Pulling my heart strings with all their might
Tearing me apart on the inside
