This Beast

Terrified and hiding

Deep down inside

Lies a beast

Of ones own

Creation

One that doesn't

Allow us to speak up

To shout out

To get others to listen

This beast

This dreadful

Terrible

Beast

Is called

Fear

Fear of

Rejection

Disapproval

Anything bad

So we sit tight

Crying softly to

Ourselves as we

Pray to a being

Be it a god

Or

Be it a demon

Just wanting

Someone to listen to us

Before it is

Too

Late
