We, the Beast

I can feel my nails grow
And my body changing
To night, the crows will crow
And their souls will be weeping

A man to a beast, to a tragedy
I wish I could change it, me
I'd give so much to be normal, human
But I don't think I can

Here comes the bloodshed
Here comes the savage beast
As a spider spins a web like thread
The beast will take the innocent blood as a feast

Who am I, really?
Am I apart of a beast that's apart of me?
Is the beast really inside of me?
Or am I only the host of this parasite?

I can't give back all the lives it's taken, we've taken
We're condemned, and rightfully forsaken
There's too much that couldn't be repaired
No matter how much sorrow we felt, how much we cared

brings gruesome imagery of the kill. sounds like a beast trapped within someone's body and soul. also could be what goes through a serial killer's mind. excellent poem.

Interesting poem. You used some really interesting lines to get your point across. Nice work. I liked the third verse the best, it gave some really great visuals.

P.S. It reminded me of Bullet For My Valentine's "Waking the Demon". Have you heard it?
