The Wild in Me...
The Wild in Me, Is the Me, I’ve been conditioned to fear, The wild in me showed me what it was to just be, It has grown from my saddest moments and accepted my tears, The wild in me has become friends with my anger; “the enemy” That part of me that no one dares to see, Once drenched in shame threatening to pollute my body, Denying its impulse, and its strength only made me feel heartache, The wild in me is brave, it doesn’t care for acceptance, It loves unconditionally, without any resistance.
