It's Not Bambi

The meaning behind my tattoo of a deer.

36
It's Not Bambi

It's not Bambi

It's a deer

And it represents what I went through to get here

Fighting everyday

To get away

But there not much else to say

Other than

I'm okay


I can run through this forest as many times as I can

Before I get sick and tired of the same trails

The same land

Wondering every time why I don't take a different path

Because this is the only path

I've taken

For the past

God knows how my years


So no, it's not Bambi

It's a doe

And it represents what I live for

Because a doe will hold her head high

And will thank the sky

For every day she's able to walk by

Herself

And no hunter should hunt her

After seeing

What she's been through

To protect herself

From you


But you still shot her down when she was her most vulnerable

You chased her when she tried to run

You put the arrow right through her heart

And as she laid there

Holding onto her life

You ripped it from her chest

And you killed her


No, it's not Bambi

It's a fawn

Waking up at the crack of dawn

To get away

To find somewhere safe

Because it knows it's hunted

And it lives in fear

But it's learned that is what it's like to be a deer

But it's happy


So no, it's not Bambi

It's me

Because for the first time in years

I am finally fucking free

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
