Beady eyes stare ahead. One track mind with no resistance. That is a beast. Not the tiger at the zoo that's a aggravated animal. Not the tax collectors who are asking for your money, but you. Your the monster, beast, the crow feeding upon the others, because you can't forgive. You can't comprehend how to let go. It's a hard thing to do but if you don't you become the monster feeding upon it. No one said you had to, but at least you know what you are.
