I walk down the stairs,
I feel a strong urge,
It tries to take me over,
The monster inside.
I need to shut him away
But fear grips tight,
I try to keep him at bay
But the pain is worse at night.
I can’t let him take over me,
I can’t let him win
But no matter how hard I try,
The urge to hunt and feed will never die.
So locked behind the cage,
Is a beast,
Getting stronger by night
Waiting for a feast.
I thought I was tough, I thought I was strong,
But my true identity has taught me wrong.
I take a human form
But deep down, I can never be,
For this wolf-like creature,
Is a reminder for thee…
So as the full moon grows closer,
The more scared I get,
That, such a curse
I wish I could forget….
So when I look out the window,
I see a bright light.
I can feel myself changing,
I can tell I lost the fight.
Fear creeps down my spine
A cold hand clutches my heart,
How can such a monster
Fill my body with such joy?
As I roam around the alleys
I spot a human shadow
Before I can stop,
I feel myself pounce and devour….
As I return to my human shell,
The fear starts flying back,
I can taste the metallic tang,
Tickling in my throat.
I don’t know what will happen,
Or where I even belong,
So what will become of me,
And this wolf-like curse?
