:::The creature within:::

Deep in the night
the creature creeps
prowling my whole body
in the heat.

It sleeps at certain times of the day
laying low, resting
causing no trouble - shh, don't wake it up!
Alas it still rises from its nesting

Trapping me in this concrete room
a padded cell of homely comforts
A daily routine of daily chores
my mental strength is tested and shredded

I long to be out there, to be free
before I become totally insane
But the creature creeps and prowls my body
keeping me trapped in its chains.

Set me free.
