The Beast Within Part 1 Poem by Jeremy David T. Garrett

The Beast Within Part 1



Amidst the struggles in my soul
My emotions like a raging sea
Everyone can see the taken toll
everyone can see the fee
That I have to pay with my blood
But I do not think i can last
How did this little red turn into such a flood?
I can see my self crumbling fast
Each slice taking more and more from me
Soon it will take more than I can give
I'm a slave wishing to be free
Wishing I had my own life to live
But a slave, nonetheless
each passing day, a struggling test
But there is something I must confess
All this blood seems to have messed
With my head, I am seeing everything
In a new light, its challenging
my head aches, my vision blurring
Oh God, I can feel my sanity slipping
Yet the fears I thought were there are gone
Replaced by rage, and this insatiable rage
I collapse outside on a stranger's lawn
trying to contain this beast in a cage
But nothing can keep it locked up
My own self thrust aside
Subliminally, I am the one caged up
Noone can hear the screaming inside
Fierce and efficient this killer is
I cannot watch all this sin
The only thoughs in my brain 'tis
'Look at this mess I am in.'
The tension builds as I watch
The killing that is taken place
I cringe as i see the blood blotch
All over the killer's... my face
The next day, I cannot help myself
The knife begins to cut anew
The beast begins to cut itself
now when everything looks askew
I end it all with this knife,
Looking into the mirror I see a face
I don't recognize, so I end this strife
Destroy the beast before he starts his race
The ending is quick and painless
I start to float away
Free for once from this mess
The dawning of a brand new day.
