The fox hunt
written April 20th, 2022
You think you want to know me?
People ask me
perfectly rational questions
not realizing that...
You see, it's like a fox hunt
the fox is backed into a corner
it doesn't stand a chance
and knows it
surrounded by the enemy
it screams in terror
stretching arms out in fear and rage
even though there's no help or salvation
oh, and it's not a fox
it's a child
without fox teeth and claws
and the enemy is your only love and safety
now a lifetime later
i look like anyone else
but that child lives inside of me
It wasn't that violent
but I don't know how else to describe
who I suddenly am
sometimes

Author's Note
I write so often out of pain. I wanted to try to explain to someone what had happened when I misunderstood a question they asked. This was as close as I could get.
