Inner Conflict

Fiendish thoughts rattle my mind
As I stare at these foes before me
Heated mind runs wild with thoughts unkind
This battle goes on endlessly

Feed the beast the demons scream
Blacken the good, the white they plea
Ravage the pure, smash their support beam
Break the weak, crush the small, all you see

Knuckles white, tears in my eyes
As I hold back the dark that is inside
The beast's roar echoes and cries
As I hold back the great abyssal tide

What is the source of all this evil
What causes my strange duplicity
Is it because my will is so feeble
Or is it as simple as humanity
