Inside
There is a beast inside that can no longer hide.
It's kicking and screaming as it crouches to crawl.
It's eyes burn bright and it's ready to brawl.
It slips on the ledge looking as if it will fall then
jumps down onto a hidden wall.
Taking in your screams of surprise and
from another corner it arrives.
Terrible and hideous it opens it's wings,
they are twisted and ripped
but it can still fly.
It fights and flaps and
takes flight. It absorbs the fear that is
near and grows stronger and meaner.
It swoops down to take on the next contender.
Not knowing this will be the ender.
