Living For The Beast

by Synh   Jun 19, 2007


All that I'm living for
All I am is death and more
Killing me at my core is the beast within

The beast within is what controls me
Eating at my fears and laughing
Like a clown in black
Beating on my back
Unlock my tears and unleash the scare
Then you'll meet my one true nightmare

Drag me down to hell
So my soul can rest again

Living for the beast in me
Is harder than it may seem
Not safe even in a dream - he'll always be behind me

As the night begins to fall
He whispers, 'I will kill your all'
There is no escape
From his vicious reign
He grins at me from in my dreams
His choice lullaby are my screams

Licking his lips hungrily
At the sight of my meltdown

As the heavens begin to cry
Tears fall from my eye
Why won't he it me die? - This secret's killing me

    [[I really don't like that you used "the best" twice in a row..]]

    But, I really didn't like this poem. Something about it really struck me; I know you can write so much better.
    Sorry, Synh.

    However.

    Ohhh my...those lines..frikken excellent.

    You did a great job with this piece, the imagery you painted creates vivid pictures, the flow is perfect throughout, word choice is a pleasure to read.

    The opening gripped me, and from there it just continued to get better. I found the whole piece to be very powerful and intense, with a beautiful, stunning ending.
