Warrior Child

Am I who you perceive me as?

Am I really this dark entity you so frequently, and love, to project onto me?

I am not a monster.

I am a helpless child screaming for love.

Forgive me for being born and raised in a battlefield, but I just want to be coaxed in warmth, whether it be in bloodshed or tears.

I just want to be understood.
