🌷 Speaking Her Truth

PART II. SPEAKING HER TRUTH

The WOLF Thing [  ˈwu̇lf ]  

I am not a leader by the slightest but then *

again, I am not a follower. Rather, I am 

a wolf. A wolf that comes and goes 

as I please belong to every pack 

but no pack at all. 

*

* As I go about life, I merely thrive walking 

down my own paths, exploring new  

ones where no one else has been  

before. Making my own marks 

makes my heart skip a 

heartbeat or two.

* *

*

* * * * * *

I never intended the world to see me

like this, a beautiful but empty shell, 

shiny and polished on the outside 

but completely broken and 

utterly shattered on 

the inside.

*

* * * * * *

Not to mention how reckless 

I have been with myself. 

It is a miracle that I 

am still here, 

breathing.

Really.

*

* * * * * * *

I never thought that I would make this confession

but 

as it turns out, I used to serve wretched souls

and they had me for dinner,

supper,

breakfast and everything

in between 

all those meals.

*

Whenever they

pleaded,

I was right there

beside 

them fulfilling their

needs and desires

only me ending up 

with 

a depleted and uncompleted

soul and a lost cause in life.
