Poem by Amanda Campos
 |
A Beast resides within When the Beast awakens, it writhes Craving barbaric loss, weakness, and blood I am well-acquainted with this Beast for it resides within me In this precious passage of time, the Beast has woken me-left me bruised, bloodied, meek One particular dawn came, casting pink strips of light across the darkness of the Beast Then it came upon me The Beast does not define me It is strong, but I am strong-willed It is fast-acting, but I am fast-thinking I turn sun-ward I leave the Beast to clench its teeth For the Beast does not define me |
