Yes, I cower whenever I see the shadow
Yes, I freeze whenever I hear the sound
Yes, I cringe whenever I think of the incident
But not today
Today, I will wear my bejeweled cloak
And look in the wilderness
Where the beasts are
Shadow, look at me
Sound, hear me
Beast, think of me
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
