Michael G. Weston Poet Rhyme

The Beast In Me

My inner core as dark as coal;
    The licentious being within my soul;
    The lost, the hurt, the blind, the sicked;
    All that is in me is utterly wicked.

    I wear a mask, I'm not who you see.
    You simply cannot tame the beast in me.

    With rigid claws and a malicious grin
    It devours the slightest hope within.

    Don't be a fool, I cannot change
    These grimly things you may think strange.

    This outward person that you perceive
    Was only created to deceive.

    Even as things not meant to be,
    You simply cannot tame the beast in me...
