I fell and I fell deep

I hit head my head and I’m disoriented

I look around, no one is here

I yell for help but no one comes

I hear a snarl, I hear a growl

I see the bear emerge from the cave

I have no weapons and nowhere to run

The hunter has become the hunted

Becoming the prey

Becoming the prey

Becoming the prey

Becoming the prey

I know him well, I really do

I’ve taken care of him for so many years

Not as a pet but as an employee

I’ve treated him with respect

He won’t hurt me, will he?

He won’t bite the hand that feeds him

He looks at me, he doesn’t move

The silence is deafening in this moment

Becoming the prey

Becoming the prey

Becoming the prey

Becoming the prey

He comes closer, he’s closing in

He looks at me in the eyes and I do the same

I wonder, if he could speak

What would he say and how would I answer?

He lets out a nasty sound

Stands up, towering above me

Then a claw connects with the side of my head

Which disconnects from my body

I’m am not an employee

I am a slave

I never signed a contract

I am not here on my own free will

I will protect myself

As well as I can

The only way I know

Live free or die
