From buried bones that girdles your graveRun to the wolves, they will tell you the tales of the brave
Sharpen your fangs and strengthen your sensesTake what’s left of all their defenses
Dear characters from screen and page who live inside my mind,
I take comfort in knowing that you’re with me all the time.
When I am sad and wish for comfort and gentle moral might
You say you think you know me,
But I think that you're confused
Because if you really knew me
You wouldn't say "abused."
You say "locked up, imprisoned,"
Held tight from the inside,
Some heroes fight tooth and claw,
Others use a blade.
Some fight with gadgets of all kinds,
Others stand weaponless, unafraid.
My favorite vigilante doesn’t wield a knife,
