Monsters Within
Scarred is my heart
With wounds eternally deep.
Temptation is calling,
But I have a promise to keep
Not only to you,
But to myself as well,
Because if I give in now,
I will have fell
Into an abyss so dark
Where monsters come out
And pull you everywhere
As they taunt and they shout.
These monsters I speak of
Are no strangers to me.
I followed them into the dark
As you can see
Displayed upon my arms
Are the marks of their claws.
I tried to resist,
But couldn’t seem to pause.
What was I doing?
“This is reckless!” I thought.
It’s nothing I should be doing,
Definitely not.
But I gave in,
Let them mark me with shame.
These monsters, you see,
Play a terrible game.
A game in your mind
You never can win
Unless you find God
Who will free you from sin.
