it

it
shouldn't be complex
but it is.

it's never a cure
but it helps

it doesn't need to have fangs
or poisen
that injects with those fangs.

if it's legit,
then there should be no excuses
for war.

you take care of it.
you craddle it like a baby bird
without a nest
because you are it.

never take from it,
ever.

you give to it,
you feed it without any thought
and then you can live with it.

because
if you don't care for it,
when you neglect it,
you scratch it with those talons
just because you can,
because you didn't win,
you make it that much more difficult
to accept it.

and when you take from it,
without returning it,
you ultimately start fires
inbetween the letters
of it,
the ones that give you it.

you leave
it in ashes,
never looking back.
and you will never understand it
as you search for it
again.

then,
just as you're blaming it,
the possibility is real
that you never deserved it.
