The Wolf I Fed and The Miracle I Am

The wolf I fed – 
thinking it was a happy-go-lucky-tail-wagging-doggie –
latched on with its fangs
and
dragged me to hell and back
hundreds of times.
What kind of blindness is that?
Denial? Pride? Ego?
Don’t answer that –
unless you have fed a wolf of your own
you will never understand
the miracle I am.
