Everywhere I Am, It Is

By SickSanityJenn

It claws its way
Into my soul
It's taking over control

It won't bow
Won't take a knee
Straightens it's back defiantly

It's in my eyes
It's where I live
Everywhere I am, it is
Hiding deep within
But just below the surface
A ravenous beast without purpose

The more I push
The stronger it stands
I will never be in command

The more it shows
The harder I try
To lock it down deep inside

It's in my eyes
It's in my skin
Everywhere I am, it is
Hiding just within
Deep below the surface
A bloodthirsty beast without purpose

I swallow the rage
It starts to creep
Up my throat and through my teeth

I bite it back
But it sits like bile
There is no room for denial

It's in my eyes
It's under my skin
Everywhere I am, it is
Hiding deep within
Layers below the surface
A biting fury without purpose

Oh I know that beast all too well. Sometimes I find it easier to give in to it. But not everyone is the same. Nice write.
