A gentle suggestion from me: Please check my socials before reaching out to me.

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
