THE BEAST

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
