The Beast in my Soul 
Wounded and staggering
I retreat into the wilderness of my soul
Here I can rest, and breath...
breathing free of your control
Introspecting to gather strength
contemplating your malicious woes
I can bear no more your twisted games
and rules that you change and impose
I broke loose from your clutching grasp
and I let go, of your deceitful allure
But still, you cross the line, and go way too far
How much more do you imagine... I can endure
My heart has been apprehended already, by your betrayal
a life’s lesson learned, still so tender to conceive
All I want now is to move on, and try to find myself
It's bad enough, this lifeless love, I shall grieve
I choose my own mountains and valleys now
as my tormented spirit escapes your regime
Distant dreams of running wild and running free
with every breath, I'll regain my self-esteem
Desperate to forge my own trek through unbeaten trails
I will seek the path where I'm no longer lost…but found
Where I can finally fill my lungs... and just be myself
in that enlightened new world... so much less confound
So you can keep up with all your coups
and strategies of deception as you choose
I’m already far beyond your reach
no longer exposed… to your abuse
Deeper I adventure, into the wilderness in my soul
I'm now walking amongst the wolves, like phantoms in the night,
If one day you come to realize what you have lost...
Don't turn back...this wolf will only elude from your sight...
