The Beast Within

It's spirit hides deep within me
i hear it's whispers from the dark
cruel emotions that rule so fiercely
the damage done has left it's mark

My fear and anger are intertwined
the beast within pulls the strings
like a puppet for the mastermind
a slave to the darkness that it brings

I am the apple with a rotten core
ripe for my own intimidation
my soul a battleground of an endless war
the curse of this beasts manipulation.
