Her Duties Call
She was a careful little girl
Always cautious,
Standing in the corner ams folded
Shielding her guilt and trauma
Avoiding the direct glares of the beasts
But deep down
She craved the glares
Fell asleep dreaming of the blanket that comforted her
And woke up as the beasts themselves
Newly savaged,
The town’s most recent enemy: the aggravated beast
She was the aggravated beast
But at least she was a successful aggravated beast
A successful,
Beast
As time went on
She learnt the ways of camouflage
She blended with the herd
Although that one discolored spot on her stomach remained
She yearned for validation from the forests
Despite being drenched in the sea
She wanted to be a part of something,
Something
Be something,
Anything
Yet she was nothing,
Nothing.
