The beast of Self destruction Relentlessly scrapes at my soul Straining Lunging To awaken me In the dawn hours A psychotic Furious Raging bedfellow Wraps around my neck Pumps chemicals of panic Through my body Quaffing my energy Leaving me pale Weakened and empty The beast stirs As thoughts keep me awake At 4.30am I try to soothe its howls With a sweeter song Lull it back to sleep Lest I be drawn Into the skin of the beast To rage with its fury Ripping to shreds Everything I have ever made To furiously tear, bite, scratch, seethe Hurt Hurt Hurt myself Hurt others Energy drains from my body Into the scraps of what is left behind Scraps Of things I once carefully built Now, scattered on the floor I ,weakened by outbursts Have shrunk But the beast Grows larger
