The Beast

150 words·1m read
I’m a beast,
The devourer of hearts,
A careless and wild one.

I’m a beast,
The very one you hate,
One who used you,
And brought you shame.

I’m a beast,
Depression is what I give,
Guess why? ’cos I’m a beast.

Run! Never look back,
Once you run, do not slack,
For my grips are cold.
Call me a vampire,
That’s very true.

I’m a beast,
A cruel one for real.
But, did you know?
I want to hurt no more.

I know I’m a beast,
A bastard and a cheap one,
But I want to know,
I want to feel
The joy of compassion,
The fragrance of love.

I acknowledge who I am
And that’s a start,
If only given a chance,
Or multiple chances,
For I can be tamed,
I can learn through flames
To always be warm
And learn to show love ❤
