The Animal

Something I've wished I could do a million times...

Tumbling into something she doesn't understand

A dark flame burning behind her closed eyes

Burning away the tears she can't let fall

Why does life have to be so complicated

So confusing

So hard to understand

The beast lurking deep inside of her

Screams to be free

To maim

To kill

To bleed the life away from something

Her anger making it so hard to control

She doesn't know how to stop this

Doesn't know if she really wants to stop it

But if she doesn't control her fears she will know true regret

If she can't master the disaster unfurling

The very thought takes her breath away

What is happening to her

She can't feel her humanity anymore

Her mind is no longer a safe place for her

Her escape is gone

She screams

And something inside of her breaks free of its chains

Takes hold of her so completely

She's lost herself

Lost the person she thought she was

And this time she can't get it back

She's had enough

She becomes the animal

And no one can hurt her

Nothing can touch her here

In this place beyond human understanding

And she let's herself go

She finally just lets herself

Be

It's a little different that some of my writing, but do you see the recurrent theme in my pieces here? What do you think?

Thank you Luna:) I bet there are a lot of people waiting for this moment, and quite a few people who find it without realizing it... I wonder though, is the moment truly a good moment or a bad moment?
