In a way, we all have a beast within us that gets out once in a while. I think the question is would we want to have two locks from now on as a result? Unleashing the beast doesn't make us happier. However, in certain circumstances, That beast may be just what we need. Good poem.
A frightening scenerio. For something dark to escape us meant it was never really secure to begin with. That's what I gather. A lot to think about in these three intense verses.
'unleashing' and 'broken locks' are not the same thing, but either way, you still pay...that kind of freeing the pain is short term, and will come back to you in multiples...best to keep it caged until it knows its place, then it can join the whole of you, but on terms...and it is never in charge...anyway, that's what works for me

Very deep and emotional. This poem tells so much in the space of so little words. The words hold and omnipotence to them, as if, truly, the cage had been broken, and the beast let out, the pain freed. Perhaps, if indeed, one's pain is freed, like the beast in the cage, one will find peace.
It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
