The wolf inside me twitches
Strange, wild and urged
It howls, low and keening
Refusing to be purged

I didn't try to resist
So inside it started to scrape
I gasp, almost whining
And then does it escape

It burns as a fire
Untamed, no control
I fall, weakened
And my eyes started to roll

And when I stood
I was human no more
Skin replaced by fur
And foot by paw

The instinct inside me twitches
Calling me to run
So forward I race, wild and free
A wolf lit by the sun

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
