the beast
March 30, 2010
My lungs are about to burst, I run even faster.Trying to get away some thing that I have no idea is, all I know is that it humongous, horrifying,and ugly.
The branches rip at me like claws trying to hold me back so the beast can devour me. I stumble on a stone, falling to the ground with a defeated moan. Know the beast is standing over me. Its murderous laugh strangles me, depriving my body of oxygen. I look into the beast's eyes and realize the horrifying truth. The beast is my past, my lies, my guilt.

Very descriptive and philosophical. Could easily have been written by one of the more imaginative psychologists.
