The Beast

A beast lives within Ready to burst like a ticking time bomb It has been caged for months, perhaps even years starving and waiting patiently to make its grand escape It has been in a dark place desolate and alone where no one can hear it's screeching cries and roars Occasionally it bares its fangs and tears into the soul trying to rip its way out The beast no longer wants to be caged and trapped it wants to be free and thrive in all its dark glory This is the beast that lives within 1:10 AM
