It's Better This Way

strange, hulking, ugly
beast
doesn't know who she is
where she comes from
doesn't know who her friends are
who's on her side
humans
afraid of her
beast
afraid of them
no one wants to come forward
no one wants to try
strange oddity of this world
doesn't belong
the humans scoff
at her moonsong
she's bared her soul only
twice
and the first
got up and moved away
the second
is still trying to patch a long gone friendship
a friendship that dissolved
because of the beast
her thoughts, her feelings
her strange proclamations
so the beast won't do it anymore
she'll keep it hidden away
keep it inside where no one can find it
no one can see.
it's better this way.

-Yeah. I seem to get down on myself a lot, eh?-
