Hides Inside This Body

-Hides Inside This Body-
by
Keaton Foster



A beast of unimaginable screams
Hides inside this body
No one knows
No one has ever seen
Safe from me they seem
Certainly that is not the case
They are in grave danger
Reeling in anger
Sooner, than later
The beast of my being
The reality of such invisibleness
Will be brought into view
Clarity will scream true
All will be seen
All will be released
Those with open eyes
Will attempt to flee
They will not get very far
All-consuming in my ways
I will catch each one of them
I will hunt them down
Ripping them from limb to limb
Long after my gut is full
Long after my blood lust is met
I will continue to kill them
For nothing more than silence
They will plead, they will beg
They will ask their God of chance to save them
From such a creature of certainty
Long before they confess their sins
Long before they say amen
I will tear them to pieces
The parts of one will be used
To beat another to death
The ground will be painted red
The scenery will be transformed
Into something beyond explainable horror
Those outside my path will know
Not to cross over, to step in between
The long way around must be traveled
What hides inside this body
Is not of my making, only of proximity
Releasing it will do nothing for me
Because its freedom means
That what makes me human
My universal flaw will be forever gone
Weakness of any kind will be replaced
With the terrifying reality of a man
Turned into something devoid of what it means
To care for another, even strangers
Turned possible victims…
