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
