THAT HIDEOUS BEAST

The voice that lives inside my brain
Is something that I can’t contain
It’s haunted me for many years
Reminds me of my many fears

I want it gone, away from me
To finally live, in love and free

If only I could snatch it out
And ask it what I’m all about
I’d ask it what it’s like in there
Interrogate those places where
The good reside inside my head
Along with what to know I’d dread

The voice would tell me of a room
Where something lives, it’s draped in gloom
“A hideous beast, which fears the light,
Just leave him still within his plight”

I tell him “No, he has to go!
There’s more to life for me I know.”

“You cannot let him out you see,
He’s guarded by the evil three”

”The first is pain, the second fear
Anxiety, the third to leer
Their roots are firm, a vise like grip
 A debilitating partnership”

“Then help me now to move this weight
So I can change; these things abate”
I start to push, but strength I lack
The voice he laughs, “They just fight back”

“You see, the three they love the beast
He cares for them, provides their feast”

“To quell the beast and snuff him out
To surely put their sway in doubt,
I must employ MY clout of three
The blessed Lord, in Trinity

And in his time he will attend
To all my pain, his love to mend
A joyous time, to birth anew
And live in peace with only you
