The night sky is lit by the bright stars, and on the large rock stands a wolf all alone.
OH! THE SIGHT! His once beautiful body is now filled with scars, He stares at the night sky under whom he has grown....
He closes his eyes and thinks....
Thinks of his past and his worst obstacles, OH! And how his heart shrinks!
He breathes in, ready for more evil to tackle!
He opens his eyes, determined and fearless!
Set to enter the woods and to never give up a fight!
OH! Do not judge him by his scars! He still keeps away his sickness!
He let's out a powerful yet painful cry on this beautiful night....
No one in the world knows him better than he knows himself!
He is least bothered by what you think!
OH! Many a million misunderstand him.... Including you yourself!
He lives with it... And lives on the brink...the brink of social extinction....
He isn't just a wolf!
He is the lone wolf...the survivor...the example of true courage.
