Beast within me

On my outside I appear to be calm

But my true self you can not see

Deep down is a revelation

There's a beast within me

I'll peacefully chat with you

No matter what the subject may be

Laughing or crying

Until you see the beast within me

I can be patient like the day is long

I'm reluctant to set it free

It causes damage beyond emotional repair

This beast within me

I try to encourage love

To contain this monster is my creed

Never wanting to hurt anyone

With this ugly beast within me
