The Wolves Within

The Wolves Within

We sit alone  prepared to feast
no thought to who partakes,
ignoring battles fought within
creating  more heartaches

And yet ‘alone’, we never are.
Inside us battles roar.
Two wolves competing for our will
each enemies at war

Both strong and fierce with awesome might
Yet more diverse are they.
One wolf will whisper how you’ve failed
To make your critics pay

He stirs the anger kept within,
adds greed and envy to the pot.
Self pity and some arrogance
resentments not to be forgot

The other wolf  is joy and faith,
compassion, love and peace
Benevolence and empathy,
goodwill that will not cease

Both  hungry beasts  await your will.
Decide which wolf you need.
For you alone dictates who dies
The one you chose… you feed.

Lodigiana loved the message and the rhyme scheme's stupendous beat and fantastic flow.
You are bloody marvellous at what you theme you write about and deliver it so smoothly and in poetry spades.
A real joy to lose one's self in and become enthralled.
I believe your one's of poetries rarest of birds who simply  ignores the definition of the word impossible, you simply cast it aside along with the words unwrittable and unachievable. A poetry breed apart.
That is superb to see.
Stay safe and stay healthy my friend and thank you for being you and what you bestow.
Shaun.x.
