THE BEAST
I was walking in the woods one day
It was a beautiful sunlit stroll
The green was lush in the sun’s ray
Life was going great I was on a roll
But I sensed a presence following me
Something in the shadows just beyond
What it was or where I could not see
Till it met me in the meadow by the pond
It sprung out of the trees with roar
And was on top of me so fast I didn’t know
My mind and body now bleeding and tore
And time suddenly started moving slow
The beast was methodical in its plan
It knew just the right places to assault
This thing was no match for any man
But some how I felt it was all my fault
With a roar it stood up and then fell
A stranger had shot him with a dart
I was rescued from this torturous hell
Though my life had now fallen apart
Slowly I began to recover and heal
Some things never came back to me
But once again life started to have a feel
And I am still becoming who I am to be
