The beast is back


Let's cause a fucking riot 
I wanna scream 
I wanna fight 
The weed is good today 
The burning needles in my brain 
It courses through my veins 
Liquid courage 
Yell shout push 
Bloody murder in my head 
In my blood 
Teeth sharpen to points 
Claws rip out of my skin 
Eyes glow neon 
Watch out, fuckers 
The beast is back 
Patches on my rough tongue 
Bottles in my shaking hands 
Combat boots on my shifting feet 
My world is getting torn to shreds 
Watch out, mom 
The beast is back 
Waves of aggressive music wash away 
What was left of that quivering bitch 
Leaking blood and sweat into my ears 
Smoke and ash cover my skin 
Bass and drums 
Cymbals and guitar solos 
My throat is raw just from listening to it 
The power is immeasurable 
Watch out, coppers 
The beast is back 
Concrete under my spiked boots 
Nah scratch that. 
Their bleeding heads under my shoes 
I wanna fuckin kill something 
All those drugs I took earlier aren't helping 
Is this happiness? 
Probably 
Watch out, sanity 
The beast is back 
And I'm never leaving

I'm an agender person that loves food, books, and sleep. I write poetry for fun, and I am trying to just put them out there for myself.
