The Madness Inside

I could feel the madness stirring inside,
and I tried to find somewhere to hide,
for they would keep me under lock and key,
if they saw what was inside of me,

it lurks within us all,
and we try not to fall,
into the darkness of our mind,
that in the end will strike us blind,

and it struggled with its chain,
but i would not let it be my Bain,
so I tried to keep it bound,
for I would not let it rise above the ground,

and it struggled against my will,
at times it made me ill,
and I knew I could not keep it up for long,
for I knew I was nowhere near that strong,

then it swiped me aside with its tail,
and I wondered how could I fail,
as it broke free,
and consumed what was left of me.
