I step back, screaming
The other half, born within me, revived
The monster freed
The part of me that shouldn't have survived
How long had I'd tried
To capture it, to lock it away?
How long had I cried?
After it created me this way
It shuffles forward, sneering
A smile bigger than the dead sea
Evil heavier than a mountain's weight
Something that came from inside of me
How had it gotten loose?
It was under lock and key
Why does it constantly abuse?
I thought it was under scrutiny
I hit a wall, suddenly!
Knowing it would kill me, terrified
Knowing I had no chance, I became still
Knowing that this. This is when I would die
It came closer and closer
Closer and closer
Reaching out, pulling me near
My heart had stopped by my very own fear.
