Thursday Inspiration 60- “Beast”

It doesn’t need teeth

or claws

it doesn’t feed on flesh or blood or bone

it’s never been born and it will never die

the beast in my head with the mismatched eyes.

It never flinches and it’s always hungry

sometimes it lives in the walls

it creeps down the hall

to where I don’t sleep

and my nightmares beg

for release

from the beast in my head with mismatched eyes.
