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.

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.
