You’d choose a bear over a man?!
You must be crazy…
But the bear never pretends to be gentle
Its growls are honest, its claws, a promise
It moves through the woods with purpose, neither cruel nor kind
But a bear never follows you home
It never slips something in your drink and claims you wanted it
A bear doesn’t plot ways to get you alone, doesn’t hide hate behind a smile
When a bear attacks, no one asks what you were wearing
No one says you shouldn’t have been in the woods
No one doubts your story or makes you prove every bruise
You’d choose a bear over a man?
You must be crazy…
Because a bear has never held me down, whispering threats in my ear
It never told my friends I asked for it, that I liked it, that I lied
A bear never told me I was imagining things, rewriting my own pain
A bear never asks you to be smaller
It accepts you as you are—wild, unbroken
And if it strikes, you’re left devastated, but it never sought you out
