Beast Inside
Learn more about other poetry terms
I live with a creature
Deep inside my chest.
It is made of shadow,
I can’t even beat it at my best.
This beast urges me to die,
This demon in my head,
It fills me with hatred
And fuels my pain.
It denies me sanity,
And reminds me of my loss.
It plays back my memories,
Will I ever find a boy
who loves me as I am?
But how long will it last
before the beast inside reveal?
Can I learn to tame
before time makes its mark
There is a beast inside me.
Every time I open my mouth it tries to escape
but I close my eyes and swallow hard
and it is forced to stay.
It screeches, it screams, it claws at my throat
