The Beast From the shadows of my life Down the steps in the darkness, In the basement where I Hide the things that I Won’t look at or let others see. It waits. It’s overgrown claws Click on the floor of my soul. It’s yellow eyes blink And watch, never sleeping. There behind the smile that I use to fool people, Hiding in the polite manners And proper attire, Is the beast. It’s constant low growl Never letting up, Forever echoing in my Tortured mind. There in the basement It paces, It howls It rages Alone at night Sitting in front of my blank television, I rock back and forth and shudder. Zeitgeist |

Jekle and Hyde... keep that thing/think locked away. A quality read here. Thanks for sharing. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." [This message has been edited by Andrew Scott (11-07-2010 03:46 PM).] |

Many beasts at my basement as well, just remind me that I am not the only one with them.  Fine writing this. "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Our basements where we hide things come in many different forms as there are people. But we all have them. Uh, with the possible exception of Amy Winehouse. I do believe her basement has a swing door. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Ah, The Beast. I've often wondered what damage releasing it would do, Although I don't have the uh... "guts" to do so. Enjoyed this. -Trina. |
