Cold-Blooded Killer

My hands are the gun
My trauma is the trigger,
If something's not right
My brain sees it bigger.

I'm not the bird if fight or flight
I'm much more like a boar,
I'll fight and scratch at my own skin,
Until it's red and raw.

On the switch side I'll kick up a fight
For those who need to see,
My strength is something I'm not all proud of,
I just want to be left be.

I was born a bird with fluffy soft feathers,
But raised a wild threat,
Maybe if you did things differently
My hands would not be wet.

I wish to be not a bird nor boar,
But a happy cat
A cat that lays under the sun,
On a grandmas woollen mat.
