Fairly Fierce
Some are timid,
Some are meek,
Some are strong,
Some are weak,
I'm laid back,
And quiet too,
But if you attack,
Don't matter who,
I become an animal,
Like a cornered beast,
I'll fight against all odds,
Till the threat does cease
I have proved this once,
I have proved this twice,
Invade my dignity,
I am not a bit nice,
I've fought against odds,
Where others might cringe,
When I'm done and thru,
Your apt to feel a singe
I go on automatic,
My brain freezes fear out,
I'll take on any odds,
On this you should never doubt
So those who value survival,
Remember when it comes to me,
I may well seem comic and weak,
But beware that which you do not see.
