The Beast Within Poem by James (Bluesman)Cooper

It stirs every now and then
When someone gets under my skin.
I try so hard to hold it in. But it's so strong.
For it's the Beast within that gives me my
strength. When I'm in rage it helps me go
The extra length. It truly is an adrenaline rush
going through your body and power out of
Nowhere. Some regret giving in to that beast
and expressing it's feeling others have no
remorse for the others feelings that need healing
After seeing the beast within. Everyone has a beast
in them some beasts are stronger then others and
others have their beast under control and then some
Take medication to keep their beast from coming unfold.
I've had my beast under subjection for quite sometime.
but it only wants to come out when the feelings that someone
Is hurting is mine. They degrade me and put me down and I began
To hurt even if what their saying is true. I began to feel hurt then I
Want them to hurt too. So I try to keep him contained and under
Control but it's not easy when people act so cold.
