They

A she wolf was born She was a stunning white She always smiled and was filled with innocence She lived in an ivory cage fashioned with bones Then They came They took her happiness and ripped it to shreds They hissed insults and vulgarities into her ears They took her prisoner in her own mind The abuse They caused tore her down Her white fur turned matted and black Her smile turned into a gruesome grisly snarl They chained her up She pulled at the chain and it ripped at her neck It clawed at her flesh and blood trickled down her neck Then the chain snapped She launched forward and attacked Them Gore and guts flew everywhere They tried to fight back but she was angry The few survivors knelt and bowed and pleaded Saying how it was a misunderstanding Saying how they never meant it But she laid back her ears and hissed a simple word There are no misunderstandings There is a wolf in all of us They are all born with innocence and happiness They all live in an ivory cage of bones They will always come They will hiss vulgarities and insults in its ears Then the chain will snap But beware Once your wolf’s chain snaps There is no fixing it
