Beast

Up, down, left, right,
Misery, depression, agony, spite.

North, South, West, East,
You can’t escape the call of the Beast.

Him, her, us, me,
Crying so hard, you cannot see.

Paintbrush, Pastel, Pencil, Pen,
No light at the tunnel’s end.

Tall, short, large, small,
Sprint away, run away, walk away, crawl.

See, smell, taste, hear,
Bite your tongue, bite your fear.

Water, fire, wood, air,
If you can’t feel, you can’t despair.

You can’t evade the beast inside
No matter how much you try to hide.
