Unleashed instinct is not violence. Violence is a language. This is the silence before the first word. This is the wolf remembering it never needed the pack— only the dark, only the rabbit’s last heartbeat, only the mercy of not having to choose.
The cage door has no lock. I know this because I checked it a thousand times, running my fingers over the seam where the iron kisses the air. It is not rusted shut. It is not welded. It simply waits . And so do I. instinct unleashed kind nightmares
So I sit on the floor of the cage at dawn. The lock clicks. Imaginary. The sun rises. Real. And I wonder: What if the monster wasn’t the one who broke free? What if the monster was the one who stayed inside— and called it love? Unleashed instinct is not violence
