small poems

Find me in the spaces you hate 

Don’t look at the blood that stains my face  

I can't exactly explain  

the way it hurts 

Seeing the rage,  

I exhibit no restraint 

I have nothing but disdain 

The emotions are misleading 

I'm not angry, 

I am scared,  

Scared in the way a dog is 

 when it's backed into a corner 

Baring my teeth to avoid vulnerability 

I Bite
