THE GLOOM WITHIN
It stirs within me
Where it has lain dormant for
years
A dark spot on my soul
It begins to churn and grow
Injecting its malice
Into my thoughts and desires
It greedily devours
Happiness, hope, courage
And all things that make one
good
The corner where it has
rested
Can no longer contain it
As it festers and boils
My eyes narrow malevolently
My jaw clenches
instinctively
I am no longer in control
What evil am I capable of
While at the mercy of this
beast
This horror
The answer is terrifying
And so I retaliate
Suppressing and subduing it
And so it retreats
Hibernating deep within me
Until the time has come
When it will awaken once more ~Adam Wiemers~ When it will awaken once more
