Slip Into My Darkness

 Come with me my friend.

There lies a side to me

I have kept from the world,

An animal within this man.

A longing for pain,

For my own self-destruction,

It’s here in my heart,

Take a look and feel it.

A knife in my brain,

It twists in the night.

During the day I’m quite fine,

But at night I’m in fright.

Tell me, dear friend, please,

Do you feel it as well?

Buried within the confines

Of our it’s-all-right mentality?

Or is it something I live alone,

A personal monster, waiting

To hit,

To strike,

To lash,

To slash,

To…

Kill.
