the death throes of the dark

 
my darkness aches with a hunger  
it doesn't like today's lessons  
it's an angry little child throwing a tantrum  
 
inside me, I feel it have a meltdown  
why can't I have my way?  
truth burns  
I prefer the shade  
 
don't tell me how to behave  
I want to complain  
change is hard and takes work  
feed me more drugs you stupid jerk  
 
it even threatens  
I'll see you in your dreams  
where you are helpless  
it doesn't know I've been practicing new techniques  
for changing the landscape of my nightmares  
 
its voice is getting quieter  
barely a snarl now  
maybe more of a whimper  
because I'm taking away his hiding places  
and he can't deal with the truth
