Intrinsic Poem by Loraine Lotter

Intrinsic

Rating: 4.5


Raindrops fall on the grassland underneath.
I’m self-absorbed by the hunger within me.

Standing barefoot, lurking beyond the heath,
I’ll wait until the wind carries your scent to me.

But you hide like a fool in a hollow tree
only to avoid colliding with me.

Because of what I am, you think I’m a beast.
Although your eyes are quick to misjudge me.

Venomous blood in every vein will seethe,
to prove to you the better side of me.

Your frozen fears burn to find peace,
though all along, this is what you made of me.
