To the Monster Within Me

In every attempt to escape you
There is an aura of futility
that binds who I truly am.

You limit me, corrupting the powers I contain,
with your filthy curse;
this curtain of forgetfulness.

With your own tainted hands
do I try to cure the people you selfishly used
and abandoned.

I hate every fiber of your being.
I will escape you;
I will betray you.

Depart from within me.
My solace lies without you.
Your putrid work has finished.
