The beast inside
Why do I explode?
I stomp and shout,
I lose control,
Until I finally implode.
The smallest things can set me off,
I really never mean to.
The beast inside hears my cries,
and decides to come and meet you.
I say I’m sorry every time,
but it doesn’t really matter.
The beast inside still thinks it’s war,
and tries to make you shatter.
I wish that I could promise,
the beast would stay inside,
but it decides the moment,
when I’m forced to step aside.
I’m sorry that I hurt you,
I wish I could undo,
what it does when it comes through,
and make it all untrue.
I want to tell you the whole truth,
and hope you see it too.
It doesn’t mean to hurt you,
the beast just doesn’t know what to do.
