The Beast

I feel like a caged beast

my hands are clutching the metal that holds me

steadily inside the cage of insanity.

I am shaking it as hard as I can

I am making bargains with the Devil for my release

I am looking for a fracture 

on the floor in which I stand

searching for the hole that will take me away

into the mist of no mans land 

with clipped wings I still find my flight 

I still feel the wind against my body 

as it tries to fight me back down into the cage of reality 

I am a beast

I wont be held down

this cage of insanity is only a test of my faith

your iron can never compare to my strength.

You see every wall that has been built

can tumble down 

like the big bad wolf I can do it with ease

for the storm in my mind will always calm

when the thunder finds peace 

I shall once again roam freely 

nothing holding me back from my own destiny 

no one caging what will always be set free

for the beast has been here since the beginning

as it will be in the end

So you see my dear

you only held me for a fraction of one moment

you forgot to never underestimate a woman

for our strength can never be compared to that of a man

we have felt the stings of misused words

we have felt the pain of fractured bones

we have cried our tears of lost love

we have born the children given to us by your loins

and we still walk into the sunset 

with a strength you will never understand

We are the caged beast

that will always find our way out of insanity

for our minds will heal

as our hearts have learned to deal with men at play

you see we are by far the stronger of two

for we have dealt with the trickery of man since the garden of Eden

walking away we were always destined to be

the beast who holds all on our shoulders with ease
