Wild - By: Jane Doe

My happiness with you is unbearable

My anger for you is demented

My sadness at the notion of you leaving shatters

My serenity in your gaze is volcanic

Your whispering breaths rustle the corners of lips

Your bristling hairs comfort the quivers

Your chatters stomps out the worries

Your animal soul is more human than any other

They call you wild

I call you love.

Please explain your writing and thought process regarding this poem.

I wrote this poem in my anger about the world’s societal norms and ideas of love so I made it encompass the contrarian nature of love.
