Wolves of Nuance

 
i wasn’t
always like this…
like this
*gestures vaguely*

i used to be
the helpful one
the one with all
the resources

i knew the
ins and outs
and all of the
secret trix

but now these
lessons i am
learning
teaching myself

come in colors
that i
never
knew existed

signs of
cPTSD
with a chronic
sleep disturbance

an eating
disorder and
substance use
to boot but

i can feel
myself
growing
growling back

howling at
the moon
for her
refuge

the subtle
shade of
meaning
in the tune
