My Beast
There is so much anger in me
So much fighting rage
Rage I hold in
Day by day
the energy I trap
behind walls
wants to be freed
I want to scream and fight
the adrenaline in my system charging me
i want to sweat and bleed
what the hell is wrong with me
i don't want to die
i don't want to mar my skin
i simply want to fight
to take it all in
there's a beast within me away from control
taunting me
begging for me to let go
each day my fist clinch tighter
as i resist the urge
finding every little thing upsetting
my body needs to release
in sex
in the fight
or in a form
the energy burns me from the inside
blinding me
clinching my soul
making me grind my teeth
trying to hold control
i try to fight
this part of me
that seems so primitive
this beast i hide
behind a sweet smile
and singing voice
for if they knew
the fighting urge
they would no longer want to be with me
HE would no longer love me
am i a freak?
to feel this way?
or simply a beast
waiting for escape
