I am wild
And fierce
I dwell in the depths
Of deep purple light
I suffocate at the surface
I drown in the shallows
But in the depths I come alive
A flighty free spirit
Stubborn, untamed
Never content to take things at face value
I question everything
I don’t care where the crowds go
By instinct
I would rather take the path less travelled
Not afraid to break the rules
I will try a different way
Just to prove it can be done
Not admitting weakness until all my resolute strength is gone
But this kind of strength is a weakness too
Is it that I only feel safe,
When I’m free?
Escaping expectations
I will not be pinned down
I am drawn
To those on the outer
Fellow lonely travellers
My essence is powerful
If I try to hide it, dilute it
It is no longer potent
Becomes unrecognisable
At least then it cannot cause evil
But neither can it be used for good
When I try to deny my wild nature
I loose my spark
Can I be wild, strong and humble?
Can my weakness become strength when surrendered to you?
You are the only one who can tame my wayward heart
The only place my restless soul finds home
The only guiding voice I will always listen to
Let the words you have whispered to me
Become my battle cry
You are not threatened by my questioning
Your power not usurped by any power I may possess
For you are Spirit
The most free spirit of all
You are wild
Untameable
I cannot be too wild for you
You do not banish my wildness
You do not break my wild, restless spirit
You set it free
You meet me in the wilderness
And you welcome me home
