The Wolf Inside

There's a presence in my life

Its strength burns within

It helps me through my strife

It helps me block out life's din

Alone in a world meant for others

Not happy to just play my role

I try my best but nobody bothers

For them ill not change my heart and soul

For all they do is fear me

Just because I'm not the same

When will they ever  see?

That I'm more than just a name.

I feel his presence comforting

When will they realise the truth?

When will they find understanding?

prejudice passed from age to youth.

I hear the cries of the wild!

Yet they've forgot how to Hear.

Hatreds given from father to child

Still they cower in fear.

I don't know why I even try to teach,

I stand here alone always

Their hearts and minds out of reach

But for the wolfs watchful gaze

My partner ever the optimist

But I wonder if I walked away

Would I even be missed??

No I'll make them listen to what I say.

On even the darkest, coldest nights,

I feel his warmth, I listen to his cry.

The mistakes of ages, never put to right.

Iknow however hopeless I must try.
