Chapter 1 - The Beast Within
Submitted September 23, 2006 Updated September 25, 2006 Status Incomplete | Some people in my Spanish class REALLY p****d me off on Thursday, and this poem came to mind. I only have one picture on here and it totally sucks, so I would appreciate it if people would comment on this. I don't usually do poems, but I couldn't put this in story format.

Chapter 1 - The Beast Within
Chapter 1 - The Beast Within
Their cruel laughter rings
in the back of my mind.
I lower my head and fight
back the tears of humiliation.
The beast within me awakens.
It scratches at the walls
of its cage, trying to get out.
My will is the only thing
keeping the beast contained.
The laughter grows louder
and the beasts growls turn
into snarls.
It throws itself at the bars
snapping at the doors of the cage.
It is furious now.
My attention shifts and the
beast senses an opening.
The anger and fury burn through
my blood as the beast surfaces.
I try to coax it back into its confines.
Finally, slowly, my anger ebbs away
and the beasts quiets, allowing
my tormentors to live another day.
