The Beast Within

The Beast Within

By: Elizabeth Claytor June 30, 2020

There's a beast inside of me.
And it wants to be set free.
It's angry, very angry.
It's lost control of me.
You see, I've chained it up;
Lost it's sway; now it's fed up.
I've put it under subjection.
And this beast hates rejection.

It loathes this new transition.
But, this girl, she's on a mission!!!


This beast inside of me,
It wants to be set free!!
It says, "Let me out!"
"I'll make it all better!"
I can hear it shout.
But I know,
If I let it go,
That will not be so.
It only makes things worse.
It is my mortal curse.

"Beast, you're staying inside of me.
No, you can NOT be set free."



Maybe if I keep saying "No!"
It will give up and go.
If I starve this mean streak,
Maybe it will get weak.
If I dehydrate this guy,
Maybe it will even die.

Beast, you've cause me much pain.
No longer will you reign!!!
 


This beast inside of me,
It wants to be set free.
But this I know!!!
I can't let it go!!!


Because I can't let it out!!!
I'll ignore it's every shout!!
My will just has to be stronger.
I can do this a little bit longer.
Because I know what it will do
It will destroy everything I hold true.
It will kill everything I love.
It won't care;
It'll just push and shove.

"Beast, you're staying inside of me.
No, you can't be set free."



This beast inside of me,
It wants to be set free.
But I don't care!!!
It's staying there!!! 
This beast inside of me,
I will not set it free!!!
I won't let it destroy everything I hold true.
I won't let it kill everything I love.
