Purgation: Giving Voice to the Beast Within

Piranha

Like piranha, they attack from all sides.

Attempting to keep me in a weakened state that I become pliant and accept my presumable fate.

But I'm not willing to give up.
I am however, eager to depart their company. Because giving up is not and cannot be an option for me and definitely not right now.

I tire of their dreaded strikes, each taking another piece of me in victory.
For with each attack they feel they have won.

That they've worn me down thin, making me cave in and submit to them.

I shall only submit to the beast that lies dormant within, that is fed up of the bull$#% that plagues this phase of my life. The beast that has been shackled for far too long; that aches to be freed of it's sordid prison, does not agree that I should simply choose to walk away from them all. Instead its aim is to gain freedom, to almost go feral in its quest to exert its dominance, regain its place and avenge the injustices done to us. But I worry that unleashing the beast may bring more harm than good.

Conflicted and pained, tears continue to spring from my eyes - a result of their incessant gnawing on various parts of my already battered and bruised body.

My mind still tries to block some of the discomfort from their attack, providing small opportunities for me to rethink everything, to plan an escape and decide the steps that I must next take. Because, ...

I WILL NOT quit! I will not be deterred from attaining my goals and I will never submit! 

Changing course is my best option; finding a better and less health impairing path to traverse, with less two legged piranhas to destroy what's left of my strength.

Because I will succeed, regardless of their sick twisted ways of sating their hunger for pain as they strive for my demise.

It's the only choice I have, for I will not roll over and die.

Maybe releasing the beast is my best course of action right now.

Ready or not...I will prevail.
