I felt trapped, I couldn't see As a fateful darkness surrounded me It came from nowhere and left no trace It picked my soul as a resting place
There I felt it deep inside, Digging my grave before I died Contrary to its ghoulish nature it slept so peacefully One could hardly believe this was the Evil all had feared
Meanwhile all around me, The darkness crept so silently So easily deceived By the beast that lay so deep It passed me by…
But I saw it glisten in my eye Day by day as time went by I begged and pleaded for it to go To no avail, I should have known
It would not listen; there it stayed Inside me as I decayed And as my body began to rot, I felt the thing emerge I tried to fight the Evil One; I tried to fight the urge
Until it was lodged far too deep, No chance of recovery I slowly watched my old self go, Could not retain an empty soul It passed me by…
Nothing weakened the beast that thrived Inside me as the old ‘me' died My shell crumbled piece by piece Yet my suffering did not decrease
My last defences were not forsaken Until the last part of me was taken Forced to surrender I bowed my head My whole body lay there - dead.
The Evil One contained in me Now roams loose, completely free A constant reminder to all around: In suppressed souls - Evil is found.
Written when I was younger; I felt like everything was against me and that if things continued in that manner I would cease to be me and my demons would take over.
