Okay, I usually don't do this...but, here we go. Feel free to comment on this.



Demon Within

<o:p></o:p>


I sit and remember
My darkest hour<o:p></o:p>
The time I lost
To the darkest power

On a mountain barren
Lay rock, chain, and blade
The final battle here
To rest he was laid

The chains still bear
The marks of his rage
As he tried to escape
To be paid his wage

The rock bears the scars
Of the battle we fought
For both of us, death
Of the other we sought

I flash to the day
That this peak was torn
By the thrashing beast
Of my evil borne
<o:p></o:p>

I spot the sword
Where I thrust it last
Buried in the rock
Monument to wars past

A seven foot blade
Curved and serrated
All who laid eyes on it
To death they were fated
<o:p></o:p>

A flash of steel reminds me
Memories I had been through
A battle of great loss
That only I knew
<o:p></o:p>

I sit by the chains
Unable to stand
I draw my cloak close
With a tremor in my hand
<o:p></o:p>

Remembering the beast
Twelve feet tall
Seeking death and fire
Towards everyone, one and all
<o:p></o:p>

I jump to my feet
Drawing sword from my side
It was on this peak
That this beast died

Each blow struck
Rings in my head
The ground becoming stained
With blood, thick and red
<o:p></o:p>

Beating him back
Where he was bound
He thinks his chains
Is what he has found
<o:p></o:p>

Shaking my head
Because I knew
That it’d never end
So I ran him through
<o:p></o:p>

With unearthly howl
His reign fell<o:p></o:p>
And I released myself
From personal hell
<o:p></o:p>

I run my fingers
Through the rock’s scar
Wondering how
I got this far
<o:p></o:p>

I leave this mountain
In the depths of my mind
A monument to defeated evil
That I no longer bind<o:p></o:p>
 
It wasn't one of my best works...just one that I had at hand...

And the idea was to represent my inner struggle with physical form...though it does sound kind of Goth o_O .
