A horse will run back into a burning barn
because the barn is where they feel safe;
no matter the flames licking their mane,
the smoke smothering their lungs
or the heat basking their coat,
in their frantic state of flight
they fight to return to the familiar,
all the while running from safety.

I really like this one. Makes me think of abused women, not horses.
