The Bear
Listen to a list of the reason why
I’d choose the bear everytime
A bear would kill me it might not be quick
But he wouldn’t rape me over and over again saying I asked for it
A bear wouldn’t care if I had my phone to my ear telling my loved ones I loved them
He wouldn’t scream she’s a liar why I cried like I was on fire telling someone anyone that he was gonna hurt me again
The bear won’t slut or fat shame me
It won’t blame me
Because of what I wore or the colour of my hair
The bear could kill me
But killing me is the least of my fears
When my exs raped, baited and betrayed me
Lied and degraded, begging “are you afraid of me?”
So while so many men don’t seem to see
Why women and many others would flee the woods where a lone man walks and run straight into the path of a bear
I understand cause I’ve been in
A nightclub
The street during the day
A taxi
A toilet
Their houses with their family’s
And my own home
And it wasn’t enough to stop a man I fucking loved
From hurting me
So fuck it let the bear eat or maim me
I’d take that any day
Than trying to figure out what lies behind a lone man’s eyes
What a random man in the woods
Would do to me to give himself some pride
