The Wolves Within Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

The Wolves Within

Rating: 4.7


We sit alone prepared to feast
no thought to who partakes,
ignoring battles fought within
creating more heartaches

And yet ‘alone', we never are.
Inside us battles roar.
Two wolves competing for our will
each enemies at war

Both strong and fierce with awesome might
Yet more diverse are they.
One wolf will whisper how you've failed
To make your critics pay

He stirs the anger kept within,
adds greed and envy to the pot.
Self pity and some arrogance
resentments not to be forgot

The other wolf is joy and faith,
compassion, love and peace
Benevolence and empathy,
goodwill that will not cease

Both hungry beasts await your will.
Decide which wolf you need.
For you alone dictates who dies
The one you chose… you feed.

Loved it Lodigiana! Every reader's internal ying and yang. The demon on one shoulder and an angel on the other whispering in each ear. A great poem about our emotions, behaviours, habits and other aspects through out our lives. For the two wolves will always be there. Five stars Lodigiana for sharing and for serving up a such a poetry treat. And take care. Shaun.x.
