Beaten Animal

Literature Text
I'm a dog that's been beaten..
An animal, so long neglected
extend your hand to help
and I'll more likely bite it
than take it in good faith.
Because a beaten animal
knows only it's past
and you can't run from that.
A beaten animal cannot forget
because the wrongs are engraved
in it's soul.
I'll always flinch
when a hand moves too fast
I'll always growl
when something gets too close
I am a broken animal at the core.
And so I smiled for you today but..
never forget the teeth behind them
never forget the high voltage,
unstable mind sparking away inside.
In my head it'll be a war
a war to give you my trust
but in the depths
lies an internal law
that screams all trust is false.
All trust is illusion.
All trust is a lie.
And we know lies.
I'll be moody
I'll be volatile
I'll smile
And give a look to kill.
I'm high maintenance and I know it
I try my hardest, I truly do.
but it's hard to trust those
who've beaten you before
And you have, haven't you?

I am definitely the stupid one that is insistent on trying to help, even if that mean being biten or worse... But in my mind it is worth all the pain for a small smile.
