straight for the throat you’re like an animal!
in for the kill, like you're an animal!
Ximen blinked open his eyes and grimaced. The sunlight burned his eyes; he held a paw out to block the glare, face scrunched and exposing his fangs. He must’ve napped for at least an hour; when he’d settled down to mediate, the willow tree shaded his spot.
Yawning, he moved his paws to cover his mouth, but the removal of his paw caused the sun to burn the sleep right out of his eyelids.
“Why can’t it be permanently twilight?” he grumbled, loud enough to startle an egret in the swamp. “Daylight’s too bright and burns away all the shade. Night is entirely dependent on the moon’s phase. But twilight? Consistently the best time to inhabit the world.”
He blinked, stifling another yawn. “What the fuck am I even talking about.” He rolled onto his right side and huffed.
This was enough to put his head back in the willow tree’s shade. And the creek beside him provided a nice, comforting background noise. The water in this part of the swamp was too shallow for the crocodiles, and he was far enough away from Tanglewoods’ town that he never had to worry about screaming children bothering his concentration. Or his naps.
He pawed at his itchy forehead and grumbled. “Whatever, a quick meditation and if I sleep, then I sleep.”

UNEXPECTED YET EXPECTED —
— i wanted to hate / i wanted to die / i wanted to see you sacrificed / i had to deal with the fear you gave me / but you fucker never tried to help me / i was jealous and i was scared / nobody ever replaced my pain / to say i’m not evil, to tell I’m not bad / too late, i’m lost in human nature / leave me be / set me free / leave me be / set me free / the hardest thing to me is facing the fear i live / no one can help me now, it’s under my heart / i’ll come to know the living, my demons are inside / i’ll bring them all to light / ———— emerged from the dark I come to life!
