Poetry On Odyssey: The Wolf

"Some girls are full of heartache and poetry and those are the kind of girls who try to save wolves instead of running away from them" -Nikita Gill

You were the wolf

The one I should've ran away from

When your ugly howls tried to scold

The imagination strung so boldly

Inside my mind

That you tried to find

You were the wolf

The one I tried to tame

With love and care and shame

But just like all the rest you feasted on my kindness

Like fresh meat after a long winter's blindness

You dug into me with your teeth

As painful as a fire's heath

And I fell over bleeding

And you started feeding

My heart still beating

You launched one last time

And crime was in the shadows of my eyes

You cared none

You were done

The last strike

Showed me dislike

Deep inside that heart of spikes

As I began to sit up

And cover myself in makeup

I was fine

Except my heart was not mine

You took what could never be retrieved

Something that never would've been relieved

By the darkness you left inside me

So take my heart and smash it to smithereens

Because there is no way in hell I'd want that thing

Back inside me.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
