I am not this beast
as you'd referred to me
though he does
live inside of me
in my gut
and he's been trying to escape
so he's been tearing me apart
from the inside
I feel his gnarly claws
thrashing
tearing
ripping my guts out
but he's not yet free
and I'll not allow him to be
he showed his ugly face
it was such a disgrace
shapeshifter ...
made himself look
like he was me
but I tell you
My face does not look like that
if only you'd looked closely
you'd have been able to see
I am not this vial being
My heart is open and free
always loving
everything and everyone around me
no longer will I allow him
to live
this parasite
he will die tonight
and I will wake up
to my beautiful new life
Wow
I loved this, and I'm being honest. This poem needs a little work and it could be amazing. Very cool idea! This poem is emotionally raw and so intense. I think it takes a special touch to make people feel your words. THE TITLE IS AWESOME! It's what drew me in and I was like "I know I'm gonna like this one because that's an awesome title." It's just such a cool idea. It makes me think of the original case of a supposed werewolf. Back in the day (and by that I mean like medieval times) this one guy believed he was possessed by a wolf spirit. He believed that his true form had become a wolf monster and that he could shape shift into a human by reversing his skin so that his fur was on the inside of his skin. Creepy, right?
Oh yes this was very raw. I
Oh yes this was very raw. I had had a falling out with a friend at the time but I also had been infected with botulism. which was extremely painful and I almost died I could have. And I didn't go to the hospital. It was awful. I don't think I ever fully recovered but that beast is dead! its way better when I read it aloud.I'm definitely with you on that it could use some work though...
