Chapter 157 - Bared & Bitten

No I do not want to share my emotions

I don't wanna talk right now at all

They aren't the type to shoot off

They're silent and poisonous to the mind

I'm quiet not because of my

Willingness to open up

But my response to these events

Aren't the same as yours

Does the temperature outside

Scream and wail when it gets hotter?

No, it exerts force and silently oppresses

Felling the faint of heart in one swoop

There's no telling what these things

Can do… Will do… if pressed further

My tolerance threshold has nothing to do

With the strings ahold of my temper

I can simmer in rage, broil with anger

Steep in melancholic suffering

Wallow from despair, scream silently to the void

Chafe against the madness willing to consume

Because in order to nurse these

Festering nuances of bitterness

The must be contained and restrained

Grasping every thread of its existence

Having one hand upon my reins

Another cupping the responsible in my palm

Only then, will I enact my emotions

Release the volatile and soothe my wounds

Justice is skewed, revenge limited

But Karma is cosmic and ageless

While taking an eye for an eye is desirable

Why make the Retribution's list longer?

My teeth are bared because I've been bitten

But I'm no thoughtless fool to call down

Someone's 'justified' wrath and end up

Injured or forever more to slumber

Time pays back all debts in full

I can smell the lead of a Hunter's bullet

From just beyond the treeline

My howl will be the last one heard to the moon
