The Bull Hits Hard

Without warning the bull is ready to hit.

He slams into you with a mighty force.

He multiplies his damage, by finding your weakest spots.

The bull won't quit until he has won.

Once he's hit you hard enough, the bull will leave you with your thoughts.

In your thoughts the bull resides.

The enemy found out how to get inside.

The hardest hits left a crack.

The bull can stay out his welcome within.

His hits seeped into your memories.

You thought once he left, you would be safe.

It's a hard thing to deal with bulls.

But, you are better than the bull.

The bull is like a red wine stain, on a white shirt, it ‘s hard to scrub out the dirt.

Once the bull has made you his home, you will stay inside your dome.

It’s like you can't escape the bull.

No matter how hard you tug and pull.

The damage that the bull left you with.

Has you living all in a twist.

Nightmares of him will creep inside.

Your nights are where he now resides.

You won't find time to sleep.

Because he creeps in before you sleep.

The bull has won.

But not for long.

You must remember to stay strong.

Bulls need to sleep eventually.

Wait for the bull to go to sleep.

Then strike him down.

Now you can sleep without the bull.

You’ve let the bull know you aren't a sheep.

There is no room for barnyard games!

This bull cannot claim your name!

You are a better soul, you will become whole.

You do not need to dig a deeper hole.

This bull once had you in his grips’.

But you found that this bull does not exist.

This bull was real, but now he’s not, he must’ve found his spot.

You don't need to take his roll; you are strong and capable.

No need to echo the bull.

He was not so capable.

This silly bull couldn't get a grip.

So now here, he will slip.

Into a grave with the rest.

Rest in peace with respect.

You have made it out alive

Look, at that you survived

This bull’s attacks did not keep you down.

It’s no surprise that you overcame the shame.

The shame is the bull’s weird games, to take your name.

You now have the power to stand up to bulls.

You are now, way more capable.

You can stand in the face of all the bulls outside the gate.

You are strong!

Stronger than that bull!

You have made it through the gate.

You’ve wrangled up the biggest stakes.

You will no longer become trampled.

You now can lead by example.

The lessons you can teach about the way to defeat the beast.

You will be an inspiration and lead the world with an explanation.

These bulls who try to break us, are no longer in control.

Take the lead and give to the world.

Let bulls know that they have been heard.

The bulls may have been heard, but they no longer get to hurt us.

The bulls will find a better home.

Amongst all of the friendly folk.

Because bulls are products of bulls, so calm all bulls, to break the chain.

No more pain, no shame, or blame.

Each bull was built on these claims.

Not every bull would be a bull.

If every bull knew their bull.

The deepest secret of a bull is that they are just like you, it's difficult.

They have been damaged too, just like the likes of you.

They just never let themselves get comfortable.

These bulls never learned to sleep.

So these bulls have turned into sheep.

They only say things to hurt what they see as meek.

Because they’ve been hurt by the herd.

It’s hard to become comfortable and heard.

If you never let go of the bull.

You turn into the bull.

When you let him get comfortable.

Inside your soul.

If you tell the bull to leave.

You'll get to live more peacefully.

Don’t let the bull steer you wrong.

Take the lead.

You are in control.

You can live more comfortable within your soul.
