Beauty Living Inside Beast

I tantalize your tantalizers, I am pretty and coy. You cannot resist me, because my innocence reels you in, boy. Others cannot warn you, for they also think I am sweet. Shy, unassuming, a porcelain doll with a loving heart, cannot be beat! Yes, she is in here; I call her Doris Jekyll, she is but one of me. We take Doris out when we want to ensnare and entrap you see. You are her prey, and you are ours. We put you brazenly web high. You are intrigued, enthralled. You have never fallen into such eyes. We are amazing tricksters, but you do not know. There is no way to tell until the beast comes forth real slow. She spends long intervals, hidden away, covert in lazy sleep. You are horrified when she shows, not expecting her wrath so deep. She brings rage, thunder, lightning, and the devil’s mouth in a way. She is sleeping right now, so it is a good time to quietly tiptoe away. Quietly, without regrets, but of course you won’t, you achiever. Having never seen her for yourself, you are no believer. Shhh! If there is one thing you do not want to abide, It is to stand the brunt of anger after waking up Mz. Hyde. See the other personalities nodding their heads? All of us are afraid of that one, she will strike us all dead!
