I Am Being Tested

I am being tested
and I'm finding wanting
in things I didn't want before,
not wanting what I did before
and knowing the difference.
A plan of self-discovery is needed
but I'm not interested.
The person I thought I was does not exist
and truly it's a little frightening
to wonder what’s really there
when the wolf is not at the door.
I think I have become the wolf.
