The Creature

A Poem by Eagergreen

Not really sure what this means but I do feel a creature walking around in me

Don't look at the creature
which slinks through shadow
watching them with its green eyes
the creature is long and skinny
boney and hungry

Step away from the creature
which will grab for you
sinking its long nails into you ankle
the creature is lonely and sad
vengeful and mad

Don't speak to the creature
with its pretty words and odes of love
its creeping voice on the tip of the tongue
the creature was betrayed and distraught
upset and confused
