Nature of the Beast
Author: Allyson
It’s the nature of the beast
That turns lions into cowards
Relationships soured
They say
Just take it day by day
Hour by hour
But what happens when your demons get the best of you?
Have you wishing
That you knew
What you know now
Back then…
Oh, to be 17 again
As time goes on I find myself wiser
But at what cost?
Wisdom doesn’t mean we fail to be lost
Day by Day
Hour by hour
Death creeps closer,
We relinquish our power
The Reaper towers
Casting a shadow so dark..
That it’s loud
All we wanted was for them to be proud
But that’s the nature of the beast
Always looking for his next feast
Countless lives and voices unspoken
Leaving behind the pieces
Jagged, so broken
One by one
Hour by hour
Aching hearts
Surrender their souls
As their prison turns cold
Screaming now
Will there ever be a way out?
Just take it day by day
Or hour by hour
But only with help
Perhaps a higher power
If you find yourself battling the same demons as me and my friends,
Don’t ever forget how precious life is.
