Two inner darknesses, intertwined, and struggling for dominance.
Trying to win power over the other, wrestling and rending, biting and tearing.
Wounding, and teaching the other.
Sharpening their claws on one another.
The Demon, is despair, misanthropic, hedonistic and most of all bored and jaded with it all.
The Beast yearns to hunt, to chase, to fight and to win. The Beast is the Shadow the dark aspects, and the greedy, lusts of an animal.
Both want experiences of their own choice.
Both want dominance of the soul, dominance over everything.
To Live and to Die, similar but diametrically opposed.
One lives, loves, lies and hates
The other wants to see the other side.
Both are destroyers, but Both also create.
They create storms of emotion
Blistering droughts of it as well.
Never peaceful inside the eye of the storm.
But it grants many perspectives and insights upon suffering.
Oh how they love pain, self and others. For different reasons, rhythms, and rhymes.
They try to cage each other.
To subdue the other, a constant struggle that leads to constant restraint...
And sometimes...you need to walk your Demons, Shadows and Beasts.
