The Beast

Contributed by Dashippy on Saturday, 25th February 2012 @ 08:25:06 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Walking through the forest
That is my mind
It's almost amazing
What you might find

There are lovers
Past and present
Friends are there too
Some possibly heaven-sent

There is light all around
Shining through the trees
And the smell of flowers
Flowing in the breeze

It isn't all like this
I'm afraid I must admit
There's a dark part too
More than just a bit

It grows in size
It rises and it falls
I really am lost
When the darkness calls

A terrible beast
He lives in there
It can be a terrible burden
But it's one I must bear

He rips and he tears
He destroys all I hold
If I ever feel the warmth
He makes sure I am cold

Pain and misery
Are all that he knows
Disdain and hate
All that he shows

He snarls and he growls
At whatever he can
A beast is he
No longer a man

What awakes him?
I hear you say
I think he awakens
When the skies turn gray

When even a shadow of a doubt
Creeps into my mind
He feeds upon it
and breaks the chains that bind

Whenever I feel sad or hurt
The times I feel pain
I fade to grey
The beast once again

The worst is yet to come
For you see
That terrbile creature, that beast
He is me
