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
