The Beast

I shelter the beast inside
Barely contained where it hides
It prowls on  chaos and pain
Where no love remains
It’s never far
Knows every scar
Wants out in every way
Vows to make them pay
It growls and breaks free
This beast inside of me
I fight for control
Cry from my soul
Broken in two
I’m the beast too
But wait
Not too late
There’s someone strong
I’ve known all along
Standing calmly in the shadows
Waiting for me to see what matters
Assuring me who I am is fine
Keeping me from losing my mind
Encouraging me
To look and see
A beast will consume what you will allow
Let go of hate and embrace love somehow

To say the least

Hate can free the beast…Or love can tame the beast

I choose to love.
