Heart Beat of a Beast


Pleas, tell me

beyond what you are.

Others may see clearly a monster,

but I want to see more.

 

A smirk to the disorder,

eyes darker than dark,

Your foul teeth are yellowed and rotting,

but still painfully sharp.

 

Behind this facade,

there may be something-

something accepted as human

where society assumes to be nothing.
