There's a beast,

He's deep inside.

Sweet at first.

However,

As the relationship blossomed,

So did he.

Big. Black. Ugly.

And with him grew anger and sadness

He is a blackhole

stealing any form of comfort and happiness.

The stronger he grew, the weaker I became.

He grew and grew, until I finally broke.

Shattered to pieces,

Feeling despair.

I can't live like this,

I don't want this.

It's time to fight,

To reign him in.

For this is my life,

For me to control.

I cut off anything, everything, and anyone

Whom he feeds into to grow.

I find things that make me happy.

My strength starts growing,

And his is fading.

I have won,

But only for now.

He will rear his head again.
