Slightly Graphic Content Warning

You think you know me

You know nothing

You have no idea

What I’m capable of

You think me a sheep

In your damned herd

You cast me out

Threw me to the wolves

Or so you thought

You pathetic fool…

I am The Wolf

And one day soon

Your blood

Shall drip

From unforgiving fangs

Inaudible

The gurgling

From your ripped out throat

You goddamned fool…

I AM THE WOLF

        Indeed, Maggie. Sometimes it’s just there in a flash like lightning in a bottle

      I had zero intention to write any poems, but this one kinda came out of thin air.

      Fun fact: I have never seen that movie. Heard of it a ton, but have not watched it.

        It’s definitely an 80’s child iconic movie.

        Yeah, it’s oddly one of those I just never got around to watching for some odd reason. I’ll add it to the list of 3,226.8 other movies/shows I have to get up to speed on lol

        I think unless you’re in the 80s nostalgia, it may or may not stand up to a modern watching 🙂

        I can sometimes put stuff aside when it comes to older films and shows. Likely because I grew up when a lot of this stuff was made it doesn’t bother me as much.

    So true, Kevin. No one really knows us. We/even I may assume to know you through your writing. But your words are a small representation of your thoughts. Hope your weekend was exactly as you hoped.

      Thank you, Mary. I think we can get a decent gauge, most of the time, on people through their words. But, you are totally right. There’s only so much we can glean from that. We all have several sides to us that often take time and effort to learn.

    Excellently written, Kevin! The short, sparse lines, and the directness of the words perfectly portray the bridled rage in the narrator.
