A bit darker...during a tense period of my life.

At times,
There is a hostile demon
entrapped within my soul.

He screams,
and claws,
and curses to be let out.

The temptation is there,
to rend and destroy
but sanity prevails.

With cold,
firm hands of logic
reason reaches out,

and the Demon is chained,
the breach closed.The chains
and gags restored.

But on some cold,
bleak day,
in the future,

Sanity may not be there,
to lend its calming touch.
May god help my enemy...
