The Hyde In Me

Through gritted teeth
Clenched fists
Thoughts of darkness
My blood boils with rage

Can you see him?
The other side
The darkness within me
Slowly emerging

I held him back for so long
I kept him imprisoned in my mind
But he cant be locked away forever
I cant keep Hyde hidden

He surfaces sometimes
But very subtle are the changes
A dark comment
Or a glare, atop a devilish smile

No one has yet unleashed Hyde
Not fully
But with everything he has shown me
I hope no one ever will

We all have our demons inside
For there are Demons inside Angels
No one is ever born bad
Its the life we live that unleashes the dark

For some it's sooner,
For others it's later
But eventually we all show our demons
Though some control them better than others

I have become one with my demon
He helps me get by
Do things I never could as a child
Say things I want to say
But I control him,

At least,
I think I do...
