The Wolves Within

We sit alone prepared to feast
no thought to who partakes,
ignoring battles fought within
creating more heartaches

And yet ‘alone', we never are.
Inside us battles roar.
Two wolves competing for our will
each enemies at war

Both strong and fierce with awesome might
Yet more diverse are they.
One wolf will whisper how you've failed
To make your critics pay

He stirs the anger kept within,
adds greed and envy to the pot.
Self pity and some arrogance
resentments not to be forgot

The other wolf is joy and faith,
compassion, love and peace
Benevolence and empathy,
goodwill that will not cease

Both hungry beasts await your will.
Decide which wolf you need.
For you alone dictates who dies
The one you chose… you feed.
