1. let the blood dribble from your wounds but savour the salty taste within your veins. there is no going back now.

2. as they circle their prey from high above, plan for your escape; they cannot fight what they don't expect.

3. soon your scratched and bruised heart itches for violence. release the screams of agony and send them to hunt your demons, 'til none are left to mock you.

4. inside out. happiness ebbs and glows from every atom of your being. there is nothing left for them to take away, and this was always your plan.

5. return the wounds to the sender. unbeatable heartbeats, unbreakable passion and unstoppable kindness. hit them where it hurts; stab the stake of warmth and love, let their blackened hatred drain them until-

6. you are free. far away are the hunting, snarling devils that endlessly circle, snapping at your lungs, heart, soul. every inch of your being that is vulnerable; easily convinced of hopelessness.

7. their weakness fuels your love of life, love of every miniscule moment where your soul is at peace. that is who you are.
