I've been told that I will get hurt all my life.
It's in our nature to be hurt,
People like us get hurt.
How easy it is to fortify against the fight.
A monster racing toward you
Claws slicing. Snarling, sharp and shrieking.
But the hurt was not warlike wrath in front of me.
The hurt came after sweet words
The hurt came after promises whispered
Hurt lured me with all the things that hurt was not supposed to be.
-m.t.
