#archetypes.

you are not meant to be vicious.    never,  never was that what was meant for you.    you are sweet,  and you are gentle,  but you have [learned] that kindness does not equate to survival in this world.    you were preyed on,  and hunted,  and so you learned from the very same weapons that harmed you.    you are not made for loneliness,  and solitude.    where is your herd?    have you noticed they have gone?    pushing them away in hopes of safety does not work when you are a creature that relies on their herd for survival.    i do not diminish you for what you needed to do to survive    . . .    you have travelled long with the fangs that are not yours,  but you are allowed to take them off now.    frolic,  do not prowl.    you do not have to mask your bleating for a howl,  nor wool for coarse fur.    remove the bloodied maw you so desperately cling to    :    make amends with what has been lost,  and continue in peace.
