Wherever You Will Go
The Beast Inside of Me
Written by: K.B.
Sometimes, I stand
In front of my mirror
To seek the beauty of this beast.
Like all other times,
I look away,
Repulsed with what I see
I have known now.
For several years,
Everything seems impossible for me.
I can never return,
To whom I was
Or ever wished to be.
But then you came
Into my life
And saw what I couldn’t see
You accepted me
For what I am
You accepted me for me
I know the route
We plan to take
Will unveil a path unseen
Despite all of that,
I know I am willing
To travel the unforeseen
You touched my cheek
And didn’t run
From this curse on my humanity
You’ve given me hope
A brand new lens
To see the beast inside of me.
~Meant to Be~

My life was a mess
For nine long years
Nothing was going right for me.
My personal life
Was a constant drag
I wish I lived in a fantasy.
I sometimes wondered
Who really saved me
The night when I had seen the beast.
After long hours
Of couch therapy
My memories seemed to decrease.
Nine long years have passed
Since my mother’s murder
And I have yet to move forward
I don’t think I could
Ever truly forget
The memory and move onward.
Never did I think
I would ever meet
The one who had protected me.
You saved me again,
Despite every risk,
You still shared your secret with me.
A few months have passed
Since that very day
And I can’t help but think of you.
I lie to my friends
And dodge their questions
Since I’m determined to protect you.
Because you have saved me
And I protect you,
This must be serendipity.
Despite the trials
I can see ahead
I know we are meant to be.
