The Beast

I'm in pain can anyone feel my tendrils
crawling across the page in ink
everyday I fall just to get back up again

a fighter going ten rounds against the beast
the great dragon of old
his spiked tail

impaling me holding my innards
in my hands I suture the wounds
inficted by the master of destruction

who longs to suck me dry
from the inside out
left with nothing but a shell

no spirit left to speak of
inked in my blood
I speak in defiance to the powers that be

you won't engulf me
eat me alive
i've lived in chaos this life is mine.
