Wild Within

There's a pup in me I try to keep inside. Tugging on the

leash, but it won't abide. So don't get too close.

He's wild and free. The bark is loud. He's breaking out

of me. Scratching at the door, pacing on the floor,

growling low. Can't hide him anymore. He's crawling through my skin,

tail up and eyes alight. Why won't someone help me win this fight?

I feel it deep within. It's beneath the grin. I must confess,

I feel like a puppy. I'm losing self-control. I'm giving in my whole.
