Feel the beast awaken again, hungry to feed, to get free
it squirms within me,
like my body is just a host, left in shreds
to give it life to let it out, to keep it fed
Awaken in this darkened room again
memories flood in as the blood flows within
a crimson torrent crashing out
no warning sounds, just a spray of plasma and I'm down
The monitors beep, a shrill sound it creeps into my dreams
poked, prodded, my whole self tested, my innards inspected, as my heart screams
sleep deprived, as the days and nights collide, pushed to exhaustion
hopefully just a warning, to take caution
The creatures in the dark night
awakened by such a pretty sight
awakened by such a pretty sight
wanting to give you blood and share their love
rather than take it from your life
My scarred insides, leave me scared outside, life can feel cruel
did all I could, followed all the rules,
looked after my health
treated myself, still I bleed
This time stronger, I can fight on longer,
not scared to ask for help, to accept love given, to prosper
not let it beat me down, or defeat my will
not form cracks in my shell, shall fight on still
Thank for reading.
Kyle.
