That Beast Within Me Creeping.

That Beast Within Me Creeping.
_______________________

I Read it and began
Weeping..
not so much for the
sake of Cliche's,
but rather because
I hadn't been Sleeping,

(a Single Wink
in Days.)

and didn't know
how to rightly
accept That Beast
Within Me Creeping!

(Deep Inside My
Brain.)
_

"Null and Void."

(The Letter said.)

"On Orders from
The King of Misfit
Toys, you must
Return to The Land
of Living-Dead."

(But I've always
been a Prisoner
There.

Somewhere In
My Head.)
_

I tore the Clause
to Shreds and
spent..

at least a Quarter
Century Dreaming..

yet woke up
feeling Great
Unrest.

(Because The
Beast was never
fond of Sleeping.)
