Beast

Caged like a animal
Locked away
A hideous beast
Who cuts up
And rips out their prey

A monstrous beast 
Trapped in a cage
With nothing but its
Hate, pain,
And subliminal rage

This beast could be in you 
This beast could be in me
All I know is that it is 
Locked in its cage
Where no one can see

That horrible and vicious beast
Who shall never be free
That wretched beast that 
Lives inside of you and me
