BEAST

A savage being

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BEAST

Tear my flesh

Eat me whole

Chew me into little bites

Let me drown

In your black hole

Acid burns me like ice

Absorb me in your system

Because I’m under your nails

I run through your blood

I make your blood pump

I’m your reason for living

I’m under your skin

There’s no way you’ll win

I’m your beast 

Author's Note

I was thinking about an addictiion and how it controls everything about us when we are truly addicts

oooo very chilling and nice, the inner beast consumes and impregnates everything we do!! a great write as per usual Marie!!

"The beasts of burdens," I do have mine. Although at the time of consumption they seem more like medication soothing my afflictions. I guess it is true what they say, "The first sign of addiction is denial." I think this piece describes how ones addictions are perceived when they are realized by the problems they produce rather than sooth. Quitting is the beast, and only the strong survive.

Great Write!

This is written really well.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

The demons of the past can grow larger then life when not dealt with... straight up raw writing.

Yes, yes, yes, I know the feeling; it's exactly what I feel when I visit the casino. This is a very real reminder of the Self when we lose when we give in to a destructive craving (as I sit here, smoking a Djarum Black). Well said, Marie.

I can sort of relate to this! I'm not an addict to drugs or boozs, but writing I am! Great poem!
