The Feeding by Jason Silverthorne
the life I see of misery
upon me it depends
to make it hale or make it meek
feeding it with my sins
my doubts are its favorite drink
and upon my fear it sups
of my resistance it never thinks
it knows that Ill give up
once I sought the light of day
a folly at its best
the darker path a better way
to give my soul unrest
in the shadows of my mind
in the darkness found therein
lurks the creature of the night
feeding upon my sins
upon me it depends
to make it hale or make it meek
feeding it with my sins
my doubts are its favorite drink
and upon my fear it sups
of my resistance it never thinks
it knows that Ill give up
once I sought the light of day
a folly at its best
the darker path a better way
to give my soul unrest
in the shadows of my mind
in the darkness found therein
lurks the creature of the night
feeding upon my sins
