Anguish

Personification of anguish as a beast growing inside and consuming from the inside out.

Anguish screams in the night,
A silent cameo of feeling,
Trapped in the depths of heart behind many doors built of scars,
Taking form to stifle all connective thought,
Hope dwindles as barriers divide emotion and the beast inside screams louder.

The sad beast grows stronger
Scratching to get out,
Breaking open old wounds,
A chasm bridged by distant hurt,
Thought old and gone
But here again once more.

The surface breaks releasing the beast into the light,
where such sunny happiness burns incurring its wrath.
A tempest of emotion is born tearing out the walls in wrenching sorrow until the beast is calmed.

A fresh beginning where emotion reigns,
Never trapped nor chained as freedom leads the way for heart and mind.
