The Beast
The black beast rears his head
With eyes of fire and the smell of death
With a cackle he laughs
And the smell of putrid breath
He stares at me, I stare right back
He grins at me his pointed teeth show through
And i just stand with nerves on edge
And shake to and fro
He sees my shaking and moves forth
He's coming in for the kill
I feel him upon me
And try to fight with all my will
As my last and only hope
I decide to look the beast right straight into the eyes
The beast watches me as he tears into the skin of my chest
I try to hide from him my pain and cries
I know what the beast is after
He wants the very thing he knows makes me live
The thing I try so hard to protect
The thing I do not want to give
And as he still kept ripping in
My anger started to well inside
It was not his choice to make
To whether I shall live or die
I finally gathered up all the strength that I had left
I give the beast my most horrid stare
I saw his face, he grimiced in pain
He stopped what he was doing and started to glare
I tried to get up
But the beast wouldn't let me
He was stronger then I
At least for now, That I could see
So I thought real hard of a way to beat him
Something he would never see coming
Something so horrid at least to him
That would get him a'running
I started to think of all the love in my life
Of all the good qualities of being me
He looked at me with an evil glare
And started to hiss, howl and reel
I started to think of what i wanted to do in the future
And what I wanted to be
The beast started shaking and writhing in pain
And I started to cry and wail with glee
The beast started to burst into flame
He was howling in the most pitiful way
And then before i knew it, he was gone
So I just got up and walked away
I won the battle
This time round
But I know the beast
Will someday come back around
And when he does, at least i know this
I know what can hurt him bad
Its to be happy
And never sad
I also know what the beast really is
He's all we fear and all we hate
He's the one who comes around
And tries to mess things up and seal our fate
So just love who you are and be yourself
No matter what others do or say
And if you do
That horrid beast will be kept at bay
