Wolf Among Sheep
RE:SURGENCE; poems about mental illness
She seeks you out
A wolf among sheep
Seeking satiation
Satisfaction, however fleeting
She hungers more
Than she hunts
Her ribs a mirrored wall
Reflecting wounds in steam
Starvation should make
Her desperate but
Isolated she knows not
What comes for her beyond
The valley of dreams
So she continues
To hunger
Wandering alone among sheep
Hoping one has fangs
