CREATURE

A dark poem about I wrote when I was in a bad place

CREATURE

 

Crouching in the corner of my world.

A man-made cage that I call Hell.

Full of shadows

That I know well.

Feeding on the feces

Of the people who come to see me.

I am the creature inside of you.

Locked away!

In my perpetual state of rage.

You long to release me to the world.

I sit in silence

So as not to be heard.

I do not move

So as not to be seen.

And I fix my eyes upon you.

Can you see me hidden in the shadows?

Can you hear me above all the noise?

Come closer to my bars

So I can grab you

And bite and scratch you.

I smell your perfume

And it makes me hungry.

I smell your sweat

And it excites me.

Come and touch me

So I can devour you.

I am the creature inside of you.

I curse you!

I hate you, I love you

Do not fear me

Embrace me

Release me!

It's what you long to do.
