I have this beast inside
that only I can see.
He has always been there
This was Grandfather Suns evil gift to me
I 1st seen him when I
was a very young boy.
I played with rifles
had no time for toys
I always shot true
I rarely missed.
As boy I was well known
no one second guessed
I was a hunter
and many animals Ive killed.
But even with that
The beast was never fulfilled
Then a sharp dressed man
in a uniform of blue.
Asked me did I have what it takes
to be one of the proud and few
I looked in his eyes there was confidence, honor
and no fear to be seen.
I then went and claimed my
life long title United States Marine.
I soon became the
elite of the elite.
The feats I accomplished
few could ever beat
I became a killer of men
and that fed my beast inside.
His presence grew stronger
he became even more alive
Ive done some things
some would say in shame.
But I never waivered
I put the beast to blame
The beast was determined
and he never would never fail.
I think sometimes
he came directly from hell
There came a time
when the beast wanted control.
Then I had to battle him
deep inside my soul
I won the battle
and have captured the beast.
But he lives deep inside me
even in defeat
Its been many years now
since I have seen the beast.
But he is still inside me
waitng to be released
The beast is evil and sadistic
I know this now and accept.
Sadly Im glad the beast still lives
for I have my daughters for him to protect
I'll stand before God
when I face judgement day.
Then and only then
can the beast and I part ways.
