A beast, an angel, and a madman

I hold a beast, an angel,
and a madman in me.
~ Dylan Thomas
 
Daily, I dance with these three entities jostling inside me – one demanding to be heard, to be seen above the others.  The beast, I cannot hide, and you know it all too well as it explodes onto the stage.  You need not forget the angel; I will tell you whenever it appears – yet, she is the most beautiful, least interesting part of me.  The madman in me is my guilty pleasure – the place I retreat to, and give birth from.  What I fear most is that when I am long gone, my legacy will be the madness left unsaid.
