The Animal

Yes, she is an animal.

She is fierce

She is strong

She is powerful

She is everything I wish to be.

But she is an animal.

She is violent

She is abusive

She is unprecedented

She is everything I hate to see.

She consumes me

She controls me  

She is whispering in my ear as I speak.

I need her and I hate it

I need her and she loves it

She is the animal that lives within me

And I so badly wish for her to leave.

But if she does, will I ever be truly me?
