Beast

It was just a feeling

a desire gone cold,

but a reoccurring one at that

and one that

could not be told to

anyone...

not even to myself,

and I wondered how I would

cope with all the doubt

and uncertainty

and need to explore;

still, no one could be found

or wanted to be found

or perhaps too picky

I was but needed to be

or so I thought a dozen times

or more in the middle of

another sleepless night,

as it raged and rumbled

inside like some

caged beast

that needed something

it did not know itself.
