Rage Restrained

By jajang829

You beat on me,
so I keep on fighting
You try to knock me down,
so I keep on walking
You're tearing at my insides
so I lock you down tighter
Your strikes burn like lightning
Your power tears like fabric
But mine, mine is stronger

You are building inside me
I am feeding you
The ever present beast
You grow in size and power
But my shackles keep you tied down.

I use you
Like a tool
I abuse you
Like a whore
But always with the danger of losing control

I must keep you down
As you continue to destroy me
I keep on pushing back
Failing you in your attempts
I will fight you every moment

If I let you win
Let you loose
Destruction is your goal
And to the blame i would fall

For you are
The rage inside of me
And I have created you

    One's own inner demons. A great adversary. Your piece described this well. I hope you maintain control.
