Demons

Wolves have teeth, as we all know.

Behind his scruffy nature

and his big, bold eyes

lie a million demons;

not one of them

summoned by you.

Yet, you're supposed to tame them,

send them back to hell

and rebuild the broken bones beneath his tattered fur?

Responsibility and duty,

that's what they brainwashed

into your heart.

You live by it,

feed on it,

die by it;

and you're none the stronger yet.
