A Beast
February 9, 2022
They say a beast lives in the woods
Its heart is cold, its hair is mangled
humiliated and cursed by unruly tangles
This beast was not born but made by man
And they won’t admit they had a hand
Broken by Humanity
Cursed with looks
Any person would lose their sanity
They say a beast lives in the woods
And they would kill it, if they only could
Yet the beast still lives, but no one knows
His heart, his brain, where he wants to go
If they would just look a little closer
They would only see
Who this beast truly wants to be
They say a beast lives in the woods
Yet no one even goes there
These rumors about a beast, they’re not true.. I swear
For I am the only one who goes in the woods
And I have never seen a beast.
