Putting Your Hard On
When you show a softer side
wolves will come around
waiting for an opening.
Once you flash perceived weakness
they'll bore through flimsy barriers
to get to the meat of the soul.
They'll wear them as trophies
while sucking the marrow from your peace bone.
Harden up before it's too late.
Add another layer of metal heart plates.
A thick no go zone.
Pick the wolves off one by one
rinse and repeat..
A wolf is never completely bleached.
