Poetry: Deep within

by Asif Joosub

Deep within
I call my bluff
Against this savage I must win
Even if I have to play rough
Deep within another man lurks
Terrible creature who wants all the perks
This battle I fight deep inside
Against a villain who knows my every move
My every bone every groove
To win in myself I must confide
Lash my pride
Dent my ego
My attitude fried
Come out a new man and show
Deep within me there was a war
My enemy hid well
I searched opened every door
I found him sick unwell
Mad raging with neglect
No more for me will he ever reflect
To him i did confess
I never loved him any less
Within me I found
Sometimes everyone has to come around
