She Runs: A Therian's Poem

Told from the perspective of a wolf girl, what a sad life she lives.

She runs because there is no where to stay for long. She runs because there is no one to trust for long. She runs because there are more people willing to leave her to her own than to help her. She runs because she can't escape others, nor can she escape being alone. She breathes because others would not let her die She breathes because others want her for a short while She breathes because she's too selfish to leave well enough alone. She hunts because no one will feed her for long. She hunts because she has little more She hunts because for once she can do it alone. She hunts because she knows she can't. She fights because she has to. She fights because few accept her. She fights because she hates as much as they do. She wants because she has so little. She wants because what she has is always disappearing. She wants because she wishes she didn't need. She dreams because there is nothing else. She dreams because its better than reality. She dreams because it means she's loved. She dreams so she won't have to lose. She loves because when there is so little she clings to what is or what could be. She mourns because what is lost can never return. She tries because she wants the past to rise again. She is because of everyone else. She is because they love her. She is because they hate her. She is because the only person who loves her barely exists, but it's enough to keep her moving and because of that, She runs.
