The Animal Within

BOOM,BOOM is all I hear,

like the pounding of drums,

it calls,screams,and hollers my name.

THUMP,THUMP the pounding in my chest,

it tries and tries to get out,

I try to keep it inside but it's to strong.

I shake in fear not knowing what's inside,

but soon it well come out,

when I'm not aware I know it well.

I scream in pain trying to keep it in,

but it's to strong for me.

Sometimes I'm fine but I know it's waiting

I just know it's waiting,

waiting for me to make a mistake.

So I just stay away from people,

especially my friends and family.

There's something inside,

but I don't know what.

Can someone please tell me,

tell me what it is,

I want to know.

Why is everyone afraid,

am I a monster or an animal.

They say I'm an animal,

huh could it be true,

or is everyone an animal.
