A bonus poem inspired by 'The Wall' by Pink Floyd, Jane Jensen's GK2, my own experiences and this fanfic. Yes, it's not rhymed, but who cares? I'm sorry for being improperly moralistic here, too.

The Beast Within

When being chased by frightening beasts,
We take the bricks of our past,
And build a wall to keep us safe.
Then, finally, it grows too high
To climb it. And we can't escape.
A shelter is a prison now,
What we can only do is pray
For someone from the other side
To take the tools and try to break
Inside. And if the prayer's heard,
Then someone comes and makes a hole
In this barrier around ourselves.
We crouch through it back to our world,
We face the beasts that still are here,
But they can frighten us no more...
We search again and then we see
The real beast: the beast within.
It's always there, inside ourselves.
We'll need more courage facing him.
Now, try and fight it, if you dare!
