Easily tempted when tired All the things that tick and spin within Begin to motivate more than they should Begin to surface and control more than I should allow All the lust For a flesh not my own All the hunger for another All the urges To fight against anything That isn't an internal demon All the rage I need to wake up I feel the need to shake things up In the unhealthiest of ways As my cups are drained Emotionally and spiritually Physically and mentally I feel the warmth of a hand I feel the craving for a hand I know better than to accept its touch I know I should be repulsed I feel fire burning in my skin I hear an internally primal chant "Fight her, fight him, fight them all..." I can feel what must be an aching To hear them brake under my hands To see them crumple in the wake of my capabilities

Tempted When Tired
Easily tempted when tired All the things that tick and spin within Begin to motivate more than they should Begin to surface and control more than I should allow All the lust For a flesh not my own All the hunger for another All the urges To fight against anything That isn't an internal demon All the rage I need to wake up I feel the need to shake things up In the unhealthiest of ways As my cups are drained Emotionally and spiritually Physically and mentally I feel the warmth of a hand I feel the craving for a hand I know better than to accept its touch I know I should be repulsed I feel fire burning in my skin I hear an internally primal chant "Fight her, fight him, fight them all..." I can feel what must be an aching To hear them brake under my hands To see them crumple in the wake of my capabilities
