gratitude from a deer
thank you
for glancing at me
then looking away
like you didn’t see me
thank you
for kicking me
then spitting on my head
like you were above me
thank you
for putting a bullet in me
then another one
like you thought it was justice
thank you
for beating me
then leaving me on the ground
like your trash
thank you
for revealing to me
just how much hate people are capable of
like it would force me to hate you back
