For an eternal battle wages within me.
Id versus ego.
Man vs. Beast.
Swift strikes of human frailty
Mind against matter.
I am pestilence.
A virus, a cancer.
Words drill into the simple mind.
Sights infect the senses.
That eager manipulation.
That willingness to be downed by a sickening phrase.
"You cannot."
I am famine.
The hunger to know.
To take.
I hunger to have.
Have beyond need.
Beyond self.
Passion begets hunger.
I am death.
For I have quit.
Give way to nil.
Broken the bridge.
And sailed with charon.
