I am a beast.
In the deep dark green
beautiful forest.
Summer.
I am fearless.
I destroy anything that comes in my path.
I am a beast.
I am an animal.
I deal with my emotions by looking
into the night sky seeing the moon's light.
I have no need of enjoyment and entertainment.
because I create it.
I have the beauty of nature to console me.
I am shielded by the vast forest.
I am a beast.
