A Rabbit Full of Doubt
2: Tragic Wolf

She looked like the small innocent child
caught up in ridicule: a child
that had been slung away
for that trusting face
telling lies

But she hadn't lied then: she was lying now
when they wore her down, made her
shout for them, only so she could be
free of that

But that didn't change the truth;
it just changed her,
gave her a goal

And now she was the lie: the tragic girl
who was really the wolf weeding out those
liars who'd called her a lie.
