The beast,
Is here once again.
Clawing and snapping,
Trying to break through,
My very skin.

The Beast has awoken,
My heart is being devoured,
eaten alive.
My mind,
Is spinning in pain.

The beast,
wants control.
wants to taint,
My heart,
With evil.

This is my body!
This is my heart!
This is my mind!
This is my relationship!
This is my life!

I had to make some very hard decisions at one time. The darker side of me was trying to trick me into doing evil.
