Pretend you are a rock pushed out a river.

Whittle away into sand before lightning strikes you.

Be molded and stained in the image of someone else's frame.

Become a mirror.

Let people look into you so you reflect them back.

Forget how to do anything else except imitate those you see.

This is how you change someone.

If you want to torture her, cut her horizontal.

If you want to kill her, cut her vertical.

Disclaimer: it may not work.

You might break its spirit before you change its mind.

You might lose its trust before you shake its pride.

It will kick and fight before you kill what lives inside.

You'll tear it apart until its innocence is shattered from your crime.

It will reflect you; that rock you made a mirror.

It is what you are and you must look at it.

You hurt it, but you do not want it to hurt you.

If you show a wolf only how to bite, that is all it will do.

It knows nothing else except how to reflect.

So it will bite back and you will blame it.

This is how fix it.

You never let it feel angry.

You never feed it.

You pull the frame off the mirror.

You pry the carcass from its mouth.

So you will not see what you did wrong.

You move on and you drag it along.

You never let it rest. Never let it sleep.

You throw a mirror in the ocean because it used to be sand.

But now it's just debris.

Underwater. Under pressure. Understand?
