Beast

Everyone in this world is trying to find someone to belong to. Someone who will accept them and consider them their own.
Humans are creatures that exist in societies, in large groups, and when they get left alone, they salvage. Salvage for love, affection, attention and peace.

We cannot become beasts, but our mind has no restrictions. It remains inside but never lets us escape too. We get trapped in thoughts that weigh us down and in ideas that push us to the edge.
We become beasts to our own selves. Our selves that we vowed to love and cherish, and our selves whom we were never supposed to lose faith in.

This beast takes us farther away from humanity, away from all hopes of becoming better, away from fitting in again. It shows us down paths that are intimidating and scary but we still keep on following it.

It leads us and doesn't let us escape, harming us  more when we do so. And slowly, we get used to the beast. It meets us everyday and we no longer retaliate. We accept it, whereas on the other hand, it keeps on feeding off us. Continuously feeding..... and then, just leaving a broken skeleton and a dead soul.

But all we keep on doing is following it again than going on our own way. And all we keep doing is reliving the pain than trying to refrain.
