The Beast In Me

The Beast in Me The awakened beast in me comes stealthily, creeping While the rest of the household remain soundly sleeping Dark, yet vibrant eyes emit a bitter glow Ignoring my impassioned pleas to just go! And so begins its nightly torturous game Of whispering quietly my name in blame No-one else is ever around to see This vicious demon residing in me Oh the beast in me are you not done I only wish to see to the sun Refreshed, renewed, alert, wide awake This I implore for my poor hearts sake The beast in me I intend to slay Come on now fiend you've had your play But no your fun has only just begun Tonight I fear you’re in for the long run The awakened beast in me it comes creeping Tomorrow I will arise tired, softly weeping

This is great...philosophical thoughts I have certainly felt but you have put to words wonderfully. I really enjoy poem's with depth that cause me to 'think' and you have penned a terrific piece that evokes an honesty of self that I really admire.:-) It is a pleasure to read such insightful poetry :-) blessings, lynn
