The beast represents all the Monsters that exist in this world. We often forget to acknowledge them until they affect us personally, but people battle these struggles daily.
Poem
But now I understand
The beast is sickness.
The beast is love because I meant it.
and the ones around me often didn’t
The beast is poor self-image.
It’s wanting to be heard, but no one listens.
The beast is overcoming adversity
to say, “Look at me. I made it.”
The beast is also how you’ll eat
when those around you thrive from your defeat
The beast is how to overcome gun violence, neglect, domestic abuse
It’s how to diffuse all the propaganda in the news
It’s The brothers and sisters wrongfully sentenced
The beast is releasing THOSE “criminals”
The beast is all the drugs and mental health issues
the beast is fraud, the beast is the system
The beast is not becoming a victim.
