We, The Beasts!

In the darkness of night, there is a creature that rises from within us. It emerges only when it's dark enough inside you. When you are depressed, when you are too sad, when you are beaten; it also emerges when you achieve something, when you beat someone, when you win. This dark of us always remains with us, pulling us down towards what we are deep within -- beasts.

We try to become more human, but we fail in that very dark corner where we lose ourselves in the hand of that creature who awaits us in every moment of hope and despair -- to overtake and make us, even for a while, what we used to be -- beasts.

But, we ourselves are afraid of that beast. Because by making us what we truly are, it makes others look down on us. In the sanest moments of our lives, becoming what we are leads to shame and prejudice. No one wants to see the beast within, so they judge others if they get a glimpse of the beast in others. And then they feel gratified, they feel being better, they feel being sane and being more moral than the one whose beast they saw.

That makes difficult for us to be what we are, and forces us to wear some masks which could hide the beast living in the dark corners of our mind.

So, every time you try to be yourself, beware – they beast will break chains and set itself free.

Being free is being a beast!

Oh, Beast, Are you ready to be freed?
