well ... ya know ya can always spew out the contents of your mind to me ...
MY MONSTER
constantly seeking
:)
never quiet
it feeds on me
:)
sucks the very life out of me
hungry thing
robs me of my will
scares the fuck out of me
ya need to tame it
relentless
nothing i do slows it
it will carry me to my grave
it steals my dreams
woo it ...
rapes my mind
change its ways ...
abuses it
shreds it
convert that energy into a positive force
till all anyone sees
is a mere reflection
hiding a troubled soul
shifting movement
so like rain
but hot ... decadent
feeding my inner demons
corrupt those demons ...
with my very sweat
turn them into angels
i fight it
for i know it pushes me
tests me
some days i feel no matter what i do
it will never be "enough" or "alright"
ejected as i am
from what is my life
by those who'll never understand
the me behind the shades
i wander aimlessly
amongst a sea of ever changing faces
how prosaic
but behind the smile
my soul churns
is confused
lost
bit by bit
strand by strand
increasingly the body moves
the mind sheltered behind the wall
against unseen blows
that know me to the floor
body broken
but not spirit
i continue on
sometimes enthralled by what i see
sometimes quietyly contemplating an end to it all
but my spirit
that which walks with me
is strong
no easy outs
so the double/triple life
this is PAID for
pitiful and incomprehensible demoralization
with my sweat
which feeds the demons
who wholly want my blood
so i go on
not looking ahead so much
knowling the pain/pleasure aspects
to be random at best
just trying to make it
day after motherfucking day
