Its Soul corrupt and filled with darkness
Its mind conjures pure evil
To let it out would be mad
To let it out would be evil
Speaking such monstrosity it would make men tremble
Living in the shadows where it whispers its cruel thoughts
It fights forever forcing me to let the beast come forth
And when im forced into battle
From being pushed and pushed ova the edge
At times i cant control it, now the evil begins to spread
It flows through my body hard and fast
I try 2 contain it, but now its to late
The beast has been unleashed
The beast has now made it
And after all the destruction, it retreats back within
And im left to explain, it wasn't me
Its was the beast that lies within....
wonderful poem. i have had the same problem i believe the key is to accept your beast within, and learn how to make it work with you and not against you. just some advice...its hard i still haven't totally been able to do it myself.
You are right I see the correlation, I love the internal struggle I know it so well.
Now this is what true poetry is about - reaching inside and finding the thing that wants release, that NEEDS release. But you know, beasts CAN be tamed... xxx
I really see what you mean with the similarities, mine is a dumbed down version though =(xx
The beasts are on the prowl. They make us write poems about them. Came here from your comment on D Harris's poem. I've just written one on the same theme from a different angle - The Restless River. Interesting to compare. Enjoyed your poem too young man!
Ramon, yes I see the similarities to that one I posted this morning. The concepts are similar, but the deliveries are different. Still, this is a brilliant poem my friend. Thanks for pointing it out to me. Top Marks. Thanks for sharing it my friend. David
