The She-wolf

You knew that she was hurt

Limping away from a lost fight

Even in sheer pain

This she-wolf was beautiful

She never looked like she was suffering

Because she played her part well

Pretending to be strong and courageous

When in reality she was weak.

She has dealt with pain all her life

And has grown use it

But now, she cannot bear this agony anymore

This remarkable creature was destined for a life time of pain

And all she could do about it was

Lie there in apathy

Showing no emotion at all

Waiting for her mate to come
