Save Me (Poem)

I sit,  praying God will save me from myself.   
My actions,  my relationships,  my career and my health
Are weighed down by this hatred with either too much origin or origin unknown. 
I can feel it in the air,  oozing through my smile,  seeping through my bones. 
I want everyone,  and I mean everyone to pay for what I feel. 
I want them to know,  to understand, I want them all to hear
My muffled cries of rage and murderous thoughts and inclinations. 
The beast that I hold down inside,  praying for salvation
From myself.   And my urges.   And the nightmares that make me smile. 
From the demon that sat upon my heart and intends to stay a while. 
I sit in the dark,  praying to understand the part that I can play
To push it all out of my heart and rise anew in the light of day. 
Lord help me.   Calm this beast.  How much longer I can control it, I don't know. 
Save me from my thoughts,  my mind,  myself.   Save me from my soul.
