and here it comes again
that ugly beast i've fought so long
rearing up with jutting teeth
i feel it rising
from deep inside
and fight to keep in down beneath
choking, gagging, fighting hard
pushing, pounding, beating heart
for years i thought it had been slain
with confidence my carefree way remained
but here it is, back once more
sometimes i'm not even sure what i keep on fighting for
it takes all my might to keep it in
and no one knows how long it's been
eating me from the inside out
swirling, slashing, screaming to get out
but i stifle it's cries
behind lonely eyesand pretend this jealous monster
is content in quiet slumber.
