The Beast

Deep down inside I feel so blind

The lights are off. I am almost dead

The war's inflamed. The evil grinds:

"Go crush all rules; nothing left to dread"

"Why only you", my demons whined,

"Let's break some hearts and make eyes shed."

"Put my end now" is begged in mind,

But I keep refusing from toe to head-

Deep down inside, Thy love I find.

So shy, I bow. On my beast I tread.
