The Kraken

Deep inside the roiling sea

Swallowed by an oyster

There lives a tiny part of me

A part that is a monster

Black and grey and full of teeth

It slithers and unfurls

It slumbers while it waits beneath

A shining bed of pearls

I tried to bury it and run

I tried to weigh it down with rocks

I hid it far from everyone

Down below the salty docks

But it woke up, it got away

It slipped back up upon the shore

Escaping through the solid quay

To join with me I'm whole once more

Although to call me now complete

Is the saddest of sad lies

I think it's time that you should meet

The one inside, my sweet surprise.

I hope you like it.

Happy Anniversary.

I am 21 years or older.
