The Monster Beyond The Darkness
There’s a monster that lurks
Planning its works
Shrouded by a sea of masks
Hidden from sight
In places void of all light
Protected by the past
Deep in its lair
No soul is aware
Of the evil it commits
Beneath its kingly guise
It is safe from all who would surmise
That on this throne a demon sits
Safe out of sight
Escaping into the night
It freely spins its webs
Deception and lies
In the shadows it hides
Where hunger never ebbs
Through the glass mirror
Its image is made clearer
This creature knows that I see
With eyes filled with great darkness
It peers with black starkness
This creature dwells within me
(2011)
The darker side for which we all possess the very same capacity.
