The Animal Inside

When we run away from ourselves, what is lost? 

Everyone wants to be saved, but no one wants to be a savior.


Stories of the past chill our bones and rot our motivation.

Everyone wants to be saved, but no one wants to be a savior.


Fences of fear override our senses.

Everyone wants to be saved, but no one wants to be a savior.


“I’ll be your savior” says the person outside the fence.

“What are you?” I say.

“I am an animal, the self you left behind.”

“Everyone wants to be saved, but only I can be your savior.”
