A Sheep In Wolf's Clothing

Wed, 09/17/2014 - 10:47 -- dmora

When first seen
I strike fear
They say I'm a trouble maker
A girl with an attitude problem
Hangs with wrong crowd
A member of kings
But they don't know me
They see a quiet girl
That is a lone wolf
When I'm loud and outgoing
I'm girly
But I hide behind black clothes
And rock music
She's been in fights
When I've never thrown a punch
She's a nerd
But I study hard
She tries too much
But it's because I want more in life
Their whispering comments
Flow through the wind
And I hear them even through
The blast of my music
And my heart sinks
Knowing they all despise me
That even if I said the truth
Of who I am
The pain I knew once long ago
Will appear again
They will lie and betray
Like so called friends did
So long ago
I was a fool to believe their cunning words
But never again
I swore long ago
When the truth shattered my reality
Never again will I fall
Prey to monstrous humans
I will turn my heart cold
So the pain I swallowed
And tears I held back
Don't stab at my heart anymore
I will hide myself
Beneath a cloak a fear and mystery
And only to those
Who are willing to find me
Within the darkness
Of my soul
Will I call them friends
For so few are true
To survive in a world of liars
And covered in smoke
Where violence is every where
Along with its friend fear
I must be strong
I cannot be who I am
If I am to survive
I must hide my heart
Deep inside
In order to no longer
Be used
To no longer be afraid
To no longer feel the pain
I've known for so long
Yes I must hide
Beneath this cloak of darkness
I must be a sheep in wolf's clothing
To survive within packs
Of wolves ready to tear your flesh apart
And take your heart
I must become a wolf
And abandon my sheep's cloth
Destroy who I once was
And be born anew
This is the end for the sheep
And only the beginning for the wolf....
