The Fawn and The Wolf
<p>The wolf tears into the throat of the fawn and it dips its head back to give the wolf better access. It's never learned to fight; it's old enough now to know that innocence never pays yet still young enough to believe it will be different this time.</p><p><br/></p><p>But it never is. The wolf leaves, then comes the bear, then the fox. They all come and they all leave. The fawn is always left behind, a bleeding gaping wound.</p><p><br/></p><p>It shouldn't be hard to understand when to stop. To fight or to flee. At some point, hope becomes a sickness, rotting from the inside as the fawn is let down by people who should have protected them.</p><p><br/></p><p>The fawn grows into a deer. We are all mosaics of people we have ever loved. The deer embodies this statement in a literal sense, whittled down to a fragment after losing itself in others. A stray puzzle piece from having bite marks caved into its skin over and over. </p><p><br/></p><p>The deer should move and protect itself but it won't ever. It's too used to being prey and is it really abuse if it consents to what's happening?</p><p><br/></p><p>So it bows its head and blocks its ears. It licks its wounds clean and waits for another predator to pass by.</p>
