& though my skin is steel,
I am but a girl without a wolf,
without a home,
without a name.
& though autumn winds still blow,
I only feel the cold,
for winter has settled
into the hollow
between my shoulder blades.

When I was a child, I was afraid of walking home alone in the dark. In the winters, especially, just walking home from school was something that truly terrified me. It terrified me, as I was a child with a great imagination. Not seeing what was around me in the woods I would have to walk through to get home only made it worse.

for you in here.
You can be out

So you be you
and I will be me.
If there is connection,
I will cherish it.
If there is not,
I will not miss it.
This does not diminish
my love and devotion,
nor your own to me.
It just makes it real.

I repurposed one of my favorite phrases I've ever invented (the last few lines) into a much better piece than I'd originally had it in. Yay!
This poem was intended to be about Sansa Stark from A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, but I realized that it also applies to her sister Arya, and that pleases me greatly! So I'm posting it even though it's not an excellent poem or anything, because I'm just happy about it. Now I'm going to go crawl back into my grad-school-hole...
