I have lived my life a caged beast,
passion and fire burning within the deep secret places
I don't talk about,
my potential knows no limits,
but for those set upon me by this world.
What happens when the beast is set free?
Will it emerge a phoenix, resplendent in glorious rebirth,
capable of greatness and beauty?
Will it be what I have always feared - a monster that seeks to destroy,
uncontrollable, fearsome?
the only way to know is to let loose the control,
unlock the cage,
unleash what has been kept for so long -
and face the beast inside,
no matter what it may bring.
I am ready.
