The Beast

Deeply buried lies the beast Masked by smiles and quiet peace Can’t explain, don’t want to say Sometimes alone I quietly pray I sob and sob, the uncontrollable shake Oh my God, please crush this beast No one sees the pain I suffer quietly Keep this beast within It’s my burden alone You will see my smiles See my quietness Deep within, my battle rages, Sadness engrained, my losses deep, My soul forever etched with the warriors I’ve served
