Evan Histed - I have inside

I have inside
A pit that grows
Where rats build nest
And fade from sight

It eats at me
It hacks
Pulls
Pushes
Fights with me
And drags me to its depths

A dragon
Fierce and angry
Rolling around
And burn my heart

So empty
So cold
Black
Hot
Confusing in me
And grounds me in despair

Missing now
The beautiful light
The guiding command
And there should be love within

Evan Histed
