The Beast Inside of Me
Sometimes, I stand
In front of my mirror
To seek the beauty of this beast.
Like all other times,
I look away,
Repulsed with what I see
I have known now.
For several years,
Everything seems impossible for me.
I can never return,
To whom I was
Or ever wished to be.
But then you came
Into my life
And saw what I couldn't see
You accepted me
For what I am
You accepted me for me
I know the route
We plan to take
Will unveil a path unseen
Despite all of that,
I know I am willing
To travel the unforeseen
You touched my cheek
And didn't run
From this curse on my humanity
You've given me hope
A brand new lens
To see the beast inside of me.
