The Beast

Walking through the forest
That is my mind
It's almost amazing
What you might find
There are lovers
Past and present
Friends are there too
Some possibly heaven-sent
There is light all around
Shining through the trees
And the smell of flowers
Flowing in the breeze
It isn't all like this
I'm afraid I must admit
There's a dark part too
More than just a bit
It grows in size
It rises and it falls
I really am lost
When the darkness calls
A terrible beast
He lives in there
It can be a terrible burden
But it's one I must bear
He rips and he tears
He destroys all I hold
If I ever feel the warmth
He makes sure I am cold
Pain and misery
Are all that he knows
Disdain and hate
All that he shows
He snarls and he growls
At whatever he can
A beast is he
No longer a man
What awakes him?
I hear you say
I think he awakens
When the skies turn gray
When even a shadow of a doubt
Creeps into my mind
He feeds upon it
and breaks the chains that bind
Whenever I feel sad or hurt
The times I feel pain
I fade to grey
The beast once again
The worst is yet to come
For you see
That terrbile creature, that beast
He is me
