The Beast

Thoughts that run wild
Like a beast in the night
Drive us to madness
Self loathing ignites

Frightened, confused
Feeling the pain
Of being alone
Living in shame

Our envy, our pride
Indifference and greed
Drains life from our hearts
With every misdeed

Unaware of the damage
Our ignorance inflicts
We follow blindly
What truth contradicts

These thoughts we allow
To inhabit our lives
We must choose to transcend
If we are to survive

Each moment of pain
We audaciously face
Opens the way
For loves pure embrace

We are our own enemy
In this world which seems cold
Let us shift our thoughts
And live from our soul
