Dark Side Of Me

I keep a loaded pistol with me at all times
Except when I’m at work
I’ve got a monster inside of me
Ready to be unleashed
I will not unleash true violence without a reason
I will not maim or kill without good reason
I protect those I Love
And those I know
I carry a weapon to protect myself and others
A lot of people say they are pacifists
But is it really a choice to be a pacifist if you are incapable of violence
I am a peaceful man because I am capable of violence not because I am uncapable of it
If you’re not capable of violence you’re not peaceful
You’re harmless
I strive to right wrongs
I strive to be the person who protects and encourages
I am courageous and kind
But I’m still an asshole at heart
I am a man of contradictions
A man of seeming paradoxes
I am the rock you can lean on but come after me or mine
And I become the rock that will crush you
I am not harmless there lurks violence within me
Caged by morality and ethics
Seething beneath the surface awaiting the time It needs to be unleased
Though I pray that day never comes I am prepared for it
For violence lurks in the hearts of many unrestrained by morality
Unrestrained by ethics
Waiting and willing to be unleashed on those who can’t or won’t defend themselves
