The Beast

We used to live in one room ever since I was born;
Me and the beast

Imprisoned behind a fence in the room;
Me, not the beast!

Afraid; that’s how I live my whole life..

“Do you have a key to the fence?” a friend asks

“There is a key in the door, but I don’t have it”

“!!!!” my friend astonished

“Why don’t you open it” asks my friend

“If I open it the beast will kill me”

“But you can defeat the beast, or you might even be friends!”

“If I tried to open the door; I might die!”

“If you just stayed behind; you will die of fear!”
