I am aloneI am trapped in a beautiful prisonFree to do anything but leave My castle hidesDeep in the woodsSurrounded by rose bushes My roses are beautifulAs is my prisonBut roses have thorns The skies are brightFlowers bloom and growBut night always comes Everything is beautiful hereBut beauty hides the darknessAnd the darkness is hiding everywhere CursedMy life became a lieMy castle became enchanted Enchanted both beautifully And quite uglyThe truth it hides My face is no longer mineIt is the face of a beastOne no one could love Beneath the enchantmentsMy castle is deadA skeleton of what it once was My life is full Of paradoxes A beautiful terror of my home The beauty exisits on top of the truthCovering it Hiding it I waste my days away in thisBeautiful prisonUtterly alone But waitI see and old manWho has stumbled into my beautiful prison Should I help him?No I do not want to show my faceBut if I did? Would he see me for who I am?Or only how I look?I am hideous now But who am I to wallow in self-pityI must carry onAm I a quitter? Only this is what I am until the curse breaksA hideous and terribleBeast
