Pauline Morris Mar 2016
I hide my pain so none can see
The monster dwelling inside of me
I call him rage, I call him pain
He's there to keep me sane

He keeps the evil people away
His blood lust you will not sway
He never has anything nice to say
He's been there since way back in the day

He was born one dark night
When I could no longer fight
And he's been with me ever since
He really, truly is my dark prince

So don't hurt me or try to make new scars
Or I'll turn him lose, and he'll make you see stars
I keep him chained with shackles
For with him resides great hackles
He loves to break bones and make them crackle

So if you come into my life
And your there just to cause strife
Lie, break my heart, or my body use
I'll turn him lose and you'll see true abuse
And when he's done, over your body I'll stand
He always does what I command
So don't try to hurt me or you'll find out firsthand

— The End —
