The Monster in the Forest

The monster in the Forest

Being an unwanted danger

With his mind set on a special quest

To not be a treacherous stranger

 

He marked the woods as his territory

And in the shadows at the dead of night

Being nice to them was mandatory 

And he didn’t want to fight

 

But he was an ugly beast and all he got

Were the disgusted faces from the people

They left him out there just to rot

And then he showed them he wasn’t feeble

 

The monster killed and hunted

Everything that bothered him

The men that tried and confronted

Were slain under the grey sky grim

 

The monster ran and hid

And ate the scraps from the floor

The dark alleyways people forbid

Who roamed around knew no more

 

But all he wanted was to love and cherish

But was forced to steal the bread and cheese

The women wanted him to perish

And leave their town in peace

 

The monster attempted to hold their hearts

And tried to be respected

But all he got were just disparts

And felt like he was deeply affected

 

With a wretched torn hole in his desire

His battles with disgust like words on a page

But the pain radiated through him like fire

And he finally knew there wasn’t nothing but rage

 

His master was in debt of his sanity

He blamed everything on his creator

He fought against humanity

The anger being the accelerator

 

He realised he never could understand

How to be a true friend

This wasn’t how he had planned

And his sadness wouldn’t end

 

Lumbering through every depth of the forest

Feeling left with nowhere to belong

Under the leafy canopy it was darkest

Trailing down through the path and along

 

He was rejected, hated and loathed

He was despised, disliked and detested

He was dirty, and in rags he was clothed

But he kept on and protested

 

When he wanders around 

The moon will shine

His footprints never to be found

All you see is his outline

 

His teeth gleaming as he growls

Full of anger falls on his knees

In complete rage he howls

His presence marking a disease

 

His arms muscular and torn

His body towering up above

His appearance like an evil storm

But he just wanted to love

 

The monster in the Forest

With a sense of endless agony

Became a myth and folklorist

Of all his murders and antagony
