I Am

by DrGreatScott

A poem about everyone's favorite green shapeshifter and his inner-demon. My first thing on fanfic, an I Am poem that I made in my English 2 class, it's finally done! Enjoy! Not really Angst, inner-turmoil, I just couldn't find a better Genre description.

Okay, I'm still working on my fanfics, but I thought this might be interesting to post. In my English 2 class, we were instructed to write I Am poems, and this popped into my head. If you like Beast Boy… then I hope you like this poem, I really tried.

(Dis)Claimer: I own Teen Titans (a shotgun loading is heard behind Z1)…comics and DVDs, not them, DC and Warner Brothers does. Heh, heh… anyway, here ya go!!!

I Am

I am an animal.

I see the monster I've become.

I hear it whispering in my ear.

I pretend it isn't there.

I feel it, clawing at my mind.

I touch the earth and feel its grooves, easing my troubled mind.

I worry it will escape, and I'll lose control.

I love others, but I keep my distance for their safety.

I hate myself, myself alone.

I like making others happy, so they'll be free.

I understand my primal instincts.

I taste flesh in my mouth, and hate it so.

I need freedom from myself.

I want one to love me for who I am… me, not the Beast.

I think others will reject me if they saw me for what I am.

I smell blood in the back of my throat.

I dream no dreams tonight, only nightmares.

I try to ignore its urges, to find peace inside.

I am the Beast within, and nothing more.
