Wild Things from Imperfectly by Abi Grace (aka Allie LaRoe)
Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes is kind of like my bible. It has been and continues to be an integral tool in helping me accept and feel comfortable in my own skin. We all have a wild side that aches to be free, that suffocates when it is treated to preciously and protectively. This song is about embracing wholeness over comfort, wildness over domesticity.

Lyrics
You built a hearth around my heart
tended the flames to keep me warm
against the coldest winter wind
against the coldest winter wind
but even the smallest spark
dreams of the inferno
tough you might contain it
you know that you can't change it
you built a place where I can stay
and watch the passage of the days
a haven where I feel safe
a haven where I feel safe
but often the citadel
turns into a holding cell
when it's time to let me go
will you know
It's not that I don't care for you
or appreciate the things you do
but Wild things belong to the the wild
