Wolf poem

When it hurt too much

She turned into something

Stronger than a little girl

And became Wolf.

NOTE: Wolf was an imaginary creature who lived in my chest – it was both a companion so that I didn’t feel so lonely and at the same time my attempt at creating a positive self-image (so instead of feeling like a dog – which I felt was negative, I turned part of myself into a wolf with all its positive attributes such as strength).
