Don't -- 9 September 2016


“Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”
They say
But I’m not being fed, I’m being strangled
Am I supposed to say thank you when the grip loosens?
“Don’t fight fire with fire”
They say
But the fire of steel traps differs from the fire in the eyes of the ensnared
Am I supposed to be polite to those that wish me harm?
“There is no excuse for violence”
They say
But violence isn’t violence when it’s self-defense
Am I supposed to idly sit by and accept the faults of my abusers?
The only fault in violence is in my retaliation
Because my anger is the only thing people are mad about
