Beasts

There is room for laughter

There is room for play

There is a room for sadness

But it is locked away

 

Don’t let them see your weakness

Don’t let them see your shame

Tears are violent ugly beasts

That you must try to tame

 

If you want to cry

Or if you want to shout

Just shut the door behind you

Don’t let the beasts come out

I so like this lyrical rhyming piece. It has such a melodic flow to it. And its message is a strong one as well.

Thank you! I was playing with this idea for days and eventually found that a simple structure was key.

Beautiful, succinct, resonating, all things apply here. It can be sad when we are taught to hide our emotions, but alas ! When writing you can pour all that out with blackest ink and quill,

Exactly what I was going for! Thank you for your review.
