The Monster Within

I once sawin television program an explanation that within all of us is good and evil, ina constant battle. The one we nourished the most becomes stronger andsuppresses the presence of the other. This means that at any time we can begood or bad depending on what we choose to let into our lives. This seemslogical. But what about if we feed neither, do we not run the risk of either escaping.

 

The Monster Within

 

There is a dark side of me I only just met

Horrible and unfeeling, my silent duet

Evil villains that lurked inside ready

 

Muted until I was weak and unsteady  

On that wretched night when it was quiet about

No more could I contain the monster and it got out

Screams followed its path behind a closed door

There was no lock so I opened it and the screams grew more

Evil arched with fangs and claws

Ravishing another just because

Weakened bodies are prey at night

In the dark where danger hides from the light

This evil I saw turned and faced me

Had a surprising likeness, it was my facsimile

I stumbled and gasped, turned quickly and fell

Never was I as afraid, the monster was me and like a being from Hell

    We all have one of these battles to fight, each person in a different area, but the relationship with God is what keeps us grounded.
