poem 5

From the darkest reaches of my soul 

A lone beast cries out 

It feels how brittle its chains have become 

It longs to walk in the light 

Not as man but as beast 

My strength is slowly withering. 

The lock that bound this beast in place 

Lies on the floor of my soul 

Shattered beyond proper repair 

People have only ever seen the cage 

None have peered into cage 

The dark hid this beast well 

Now all will see who I really am 

See what I truly am....
