Omega

I'll never be like them.

Even if you so desperately want me to.

Their heart beats for the sun,
while mine is unconditionally
and irrevocably in love with the moon.
I've never been more awake and they're sleeping.
They want me to roar, but I'm howling inside.
They want me to be their most powerful chess piece
and all I can dream of is the greek alphabet.

When will you understand?
I'm a wolf.
Trapped.

In a pride of lions.

I'm happy to inform you that she did break free indeed.. it took her a while but she finally feels at peace, howling whenever the heck she wants :)

I enjoyed this very much. It would be interesting if we could all turn into our "spirit animals" if you will, and see how different we really are. There is only one species for us. Human. But we are all so different. Thanks for sharing this. Very powerful

Be who you are. Never settle for who people want you to be.
Superb writing. You have a talent for poetic statement that I am slightly jealous of :)

The individual cries to be freed from the 'pushed' conformity of society... the night owl versus the morning lark...they want you as their queen but you want it to end, to be free... I enjoyed this very much.

Our time will come. Believe it with all your heart and soul and it will be so.
