You are
You took a truth serum
And it told you you were sad
It showed you the nature of locking doors
And what we feel each time we turn the key
The message we hear with the click
“Remember… the time
The story….”
“You are not safe”
“The world is scary”
And it is
You are predator
And prey
You are the wild deer running in fear
And the wild boar trapped in a cage
The timid rabbit hiding in a hole
The bear ready to fight to the death to defend your cubs
And then you saw you were nothing but an animal
the social baboon
the shamed and excitable dog looking for approval
But you are also the squirrel or the bobcat
And even if no one notices how gracefully you scale trees or bound from buildings or rocks
How amazing your strength and agility
You are nonetheless grand and beautiful
And when you are sad
you sing
the most beautiful intricate loon song that was ever sung
