i was a bear once
i walked the earth sniffing
and wandered into this place made of wood where people gathered
of course no one understood that i was actually a young woman who became a bear
could enhabit the bear
no one but like two people
i came there to scare those people in the wooden room
and it worked
they wanted to kill me
but i growled a deep low growl
and i showed my teeth
and i was ready to kill them too
tear them apart for wanting to hurt me and the ones i love
see i was only there because they threatened someone i knew
someone i loved
and i just wanted them to see that you can’t do that without consquences
i didn’t care in that moment whether i would die
i’d die and turn back to a woman and they’d feel oh so bad
yeah right
because when hate lives in your heart where can it go?
i, the bear, growled and the people all shuddered
one didn’t because he knew i wasn’t a bear
and he told the people i was a woman
and then they looked again and they saw that i was a woman wearing the skin of a bear
i smiled at the recognition
didn’t think anyone would get it
but someone did
so i sat with them for a while and i listened to what they had to say
i’m still listening
i’m still the bear
i still change forms
i’m changing forms right now
❤ well written!
