Battle of the Beast

Here it comes again

The pain is caving in

The knife has broke the skin

And I can feel the beast within

It's trying to get out

Clawing at my soul

Tearing shit apart

Killing me is the goal

So far the beast has won

Devouring all it can

Creeping just beneath the skin

All is going according to plan

Jagged teeth and scissor claws

Sharpened just for me

Piece by piece, it takes me in

I wasn't meant to be

I open my eyes to blood

A mass of red dripping down my arm

Not again, I cried

Again, I'm lost to self-harm

The beast has been silenced

It lurks back to its cave

The thirst has been quenched

Blood is what I gave

Staring at my work

I fall back on my bed

Tears escape my eyes

The beast has been fed

Another night of being lost

More pain is yet to come

I question my life

I question what I have become

Time to take more pills

I really need to sleep

Of course sleep never comes

So instead I continue to weep

My tears fall down my face

Why do I try so hard?

I should just let the beast win

Let down all of my guard

Tomorrow is another day

Maybe it's the day I die

Let the battle begin

It's time to say goodbye
