the beast within....

i feel it clawing my chest
trying to break through
breaking my ribs
and crushing my lungs

i feel it's anger
trying to take control
making me scream
at the top of my voice

and when it is tired
its sits in a corner
laughing at my madness
and gaining it's strength

it tries to escape
but i won't give up
it breaks my heart
but i still have hope

i ask him who he is
ask him what the hell he is
he smiles and says
the beast within...
