snarling hatred that i will never yield

no.

i will not yield.

not behind here,

not through word of mouth

not even when i stand opposite you,

i will never yield.

...

i see you for what you are.

my words, flaming arrows,

aimed for your heart of molten hatred.

a bully.

that is my name for you.

no. powerless is your label.

strike hard, little rats.

i fear nothing.

i hate everything.

not even you can stop me.

because i am your worst

most feared predator

one apex

aligned with gods and goddesses among my own feline friends.

cross the line

I dare you.

And i've already gone first,

as is my custom of destroying inconveniences.

no sympathy served here!

forevermore i will not be beaten, tackled or shackled

i will only attack.

and yes, those snarls and snaps and scratches.

and all of those punches,

along with the endless list of tiny itty bitty grudges

are personal.

🙂.

-

Fin.
