# Lament of the Hunted

WOO for poetry and stuff.

  I feel like a monster
  A demon - and it's all your fault
  Hunt me down like common blood
  But I won't fall, I WILL REVOLT
 
  My soul is borne of your new fur coat
  But my life is a problem - what is your solution?
  A by-product of your dress, a side effect
  You call to me "death", I reply REVOLUTION
 
  My coat is my own, my refuge, your desire
  Is my soul truly so corrupt? You love me once dead
  When you wear my body, you seem so content
  But to wear it myself, you are angry instead
 
  Beneath this fur I am dark - am I evil?
  Do you save me from myself? To carry my weight?
  To provide the utmost loyalty and serve you in death...
  Are they better separated? Your desire and my hate...
 
  I storm through the night and I burst through the day
  But indecision I fight - what good will it do?
  To be hunted forever like the beast that I am
  Or to turn myself in and surrender to you?
 
  What good can I do when I'm running like this?
  A life spent running is worth nothing at all
  Between an endless escape and giving in to your wish
  Should I just die at your hands, so into peace I may fall?
 
  But another option emerges only when I am trapped...
  When escape is nought, however I try
  I remember my tail - razor and sharp...
  ... perhaps it's not me who is the one who must die...
 
  My fur is your sin
  My blade - retribution
  Your lust is offense
  And your death - absolution.
