I know a girl
She is kind and cruel
Wild and cautious
Secure and dangerous
She prefers to run where most would walk
Dance when most would talk
Sing when most would write
And tear apart the 'rules' of life
And yet she is trapped
She wants to scream
To let rip the emotions
In a terrifying shriek
Louder than any wolf's howl
And more terrifying than any mother bear
But someone has captured her voice
She wants to cry
There are thousands of tidal waves
Waiting to escape their flesh prison
And cascade down her cheeks
But something holds back her tears
She wants to let all the words pour out
To fill page after page with her dark twisted tale
Like an author whose last lifeline is their work
But someone took the pen out of her hand
She is so beautiful
Faeries dance in her eyes
Darkness pools in her hair
And power ripples off of her
And deserves so much more than this
But she can't see it
She thinks she brought this upon herself
She thinks the trauma
The pain
Is all deserved
And I do not know what to do
To help this girl I knew

Louder than any wolf's howl
