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
