Thrown to the Wild

by Olivia Salter

 

Through nights as deep as the raven's call,  

I wandered lost in shadows that sprawl.  

The wind's cold whisper sowed seeds of doubt,  

Yet in this chaos, I found my route.  

Cast among wolves, fierce and alive,  

With eyes like embers that spark and thrive.  

Destined to falter, to break and bend,  

But the wild embraced me, my steadfast friend.  

Their howls echoed like thunderous drums,  

Yet in their presence, my courage hums.  

Each growl a lesson, each stare a test,  

In the heart of the storm, I discovered my best.  

The wolves may circle, their hunger stark,  

But from the ashes, I ignited a spark.  

In the wilderness vast, my name took flight,  

Thrown to the wild, I emerged into light.  

Among their pack, I carved my fate,  

No longer the hunted, I learned to create.  

With every step, I claimed my place,  

A leader reborn, ready to face.  

With scars as stories, my journey unfolds,  

In the dance of shadows, my spirit holds.  

In the wild's embrace, I grew so tall,  

A warrior born from the rise and fall.  

Through trials faced, I learned to soar,  

In the depths of the wild, I found my core.  

Each challenge welcomed, each fear transformed,  

In the heart of the tempest, my spirit warmed.  

The night may whisper of dangers untold,  

Yet in my heart lies a fire bold.  

With the wolves as my guide, I journey on,  

In the wilderness vast, I have finally drawn.  

For every howl that breaks through the night,  

Is a call to rise, to harness my might.  

Through darkness and doubt, I stand now proud,  

Thrown to the wild, I roar with the crowd.  

Embracing the wild, I am no longer lost,  

In every struggle, I’ve counted the cost.  

With strength in my heart and courage to spare,  

I am a child of the wild, forever aware.
