Description
Burning up
Slipping back so perfectly into my skin
Keeping the animal inside
Contained
Careful
Fed

Every little twitch
Each off look
He’s trying to come out
To claw at my regrets and pain
Until I want to recede back inside my body

Dark
Vein
Power hungry
Overconfident
No care in the world for others
Murder has never been so longed for

Heart pounding, jaw popping
Teeth tearing, eyes ravenous
The color is leaving the earth
Layered over by the blood of the kill

“No stopping now, Matthew
You wanted me to come out
You needed to see what it was like to have power
To be able to push back, when you’re stepped on
It feels good, doesn’t it?
No one will even look at you

They’re only people
Useless, careless, selfish
Using up life, energy, resources
Just have a little taste
Let me loose, before I tear you open
And claw out of your twitching body myself”

As bones crack
Skin tears
And blood spills

Slipping into this state
Like a glove
Seeing an old friend once again

Breaking through a bolted door
Just to see my children
To wish them goodnight
At least, that’s what my hallucinations imply

Hands burning
Eyes cold
The sky falls to crimson
Before the darkness surrounds me once again
