The Beast

Anger. Cutting, biting, shaking. Anger. Itchy, burning, ripping, tearing. Anger. Burning, searing, blaring. All I want to do is scream. Walk away, walk away. Live or die another day. Walk away, breathe deep. Watch everything you say. The blade falls deep Cutting down as I weep. I hold my breath and take a step Trying to walk away. But a monster surges again And I’m right back where I started again. Anger. Twisted, surging to swallow me whole. As your face I rip away with every blow. Until your blood Covers my face. Your existence I’ll erase. And I cry here when I’m done This pitiful thing I’ve done. Monster within Lurking just under my skin. Monster, Killer, psychotic, other side. Monster, This monster, the one I hide. Anger, Always anger. A scar, A monster within. This terror-fed, Blood-thirsty beast lurking just under my skin.
