She runs because there is no where to stay for long.
She runs because there is no one to trust for long.
She runs because there are more people willing to leave her to her own than to help her.
She runs because she can't escape others, nor can she escape being alone.
She breathes because others would not let her die
She breathes because others want her for a short while
She breathes because she's too selfish to leave well enough alone.
She hunts because no one will feed her for long.
She hunts because she has little more
She hunts because for once she can do it alone.
She hunts because she knows she can't.
She fights because she has to.
She fights because few accept her.
She fights because she hates as much as they do.
She wants because she has so little.
She wants because what she has is always disappearing.
She wants because she wishes she didn't need.
She dreams because there is nothing else.
She dreams because its better than reality.
She dreams because it means she's loved.
She dreams so she won't have to lose.
She loves because when there is so little she clings to what is or what could be.
She mourns because what is lost can never return.
She tries because she wants the past to rise again.
She is because of everyone else.
She is because they love her.
She is because they hate her.
She is because the only person who loves her barely exists, but it's enough to keep her moving and because of that,
She runs.

Wow, it's been awhile since I've decided to give my opinion on writing, let me analize..
I liked the feel from it, It was like a story coming from the main chr. What I always get from poems like this, is that the author is trying to protray something about themselves, but the thing about reading poetry is when your reading it, the author doesn't exist. It's a chr made from the reader's own view or thought process from what he reads. I had to read a bit before I could put together a feeling of connection between the chr and I.
On an emotional level though, I could sympathise with her, whoever she may be. Always looked at as the bad guy has an effect on people so I have noticed, lol me being one of them. There is a desperate tone to it, but it's kind of hard to tell. What it seems like is that all this pain has been accepted, lowering the intensity. It's kind of like an explosion happened two doors down but you've accepted it and are living with it,so when you tell it again, because your not effected by it to the degree you were, it won't effect the person your telling as much either.
The story has a great feel to it though, it's kind of like I'm looking over what I've done and this is the general version of it. All in all, I liked it. Keep going Cratys

Thank you, I like it when you analize my work...I didn't really think about this poem though. I just wrote it...I took what was in my head and put it unfiltered on paper. I added the next part to the story called "running" if you wouldn't mind looking over that sometime. But thank you...she, that wolf in the poem...I wish I didn't feel sorry for her...I haven't eaten all day. I wonder if real wolves fast when they're upset...
