The Beast

You look at me,

Starring deep into the windows of my soul,

Eyes squinting,

Turning red,

Focusing hard,

Trying to see what is in my heart,

And it angers you,

As you find nothing,

A useless machine that just pumps blood around my body,

You laugh at me,

Call me names,

abuse me,

Shout at me,

Shout so loud my ears are still ringing,

You growl at me,

You roar to try to scare me,

But I do not budge,

I just look away,

You are so angry with me,

You wish you could touch me,

But you are held back,

You want to break free so you can tear me apart,

Beat me down,

Scratch me,

Bite me,

Throw me around,

Punish me until I submit,

You wish you could end the suffering,

End the pain,

You wish you could kill me,

But killing me would mean killing you,

Because you see what I see,

You feel what I feel,

You stare at me while I look at you,

The man in the mirror,



Is you.
