The Dark Side
Sometimes when I’m fast asleep,
Damage done beyond repair,
When’s the battle going to end?
Creatures in their different form,
Still the blood soaks red and deep.
And still I feel the bones that break,
The blinding pain my powers make.
And still I see the dying man,
Fall at my feet; have I done what I can?
And still I hear my desperate cry
When I ask myself, "Who am I?"
Creatures screaming in despair.
And when I go to rest my hide,
In my mind, they’re by my side.
How many rules am I allowed to be
And if I do, will I become,
Nothing but a bothersome?
Striking battle like a storm,
And still the blood soaks red and warm,
I’m fast asleep still, in my dorm.
