The Lonewolf's Verse

By ShinobiWolf

XXXXXXXXXX

I look at the scene before me

Kids, so many of them

Enjoying their right to be free

I watch them, I envy them

Their lives are innocent

Their minds are unknowing

What I said I meant

My dislike for all is growing

All except for my brother

So innocent and naïve

And also my mother

Neither of them I wanted to leave

Who can I trust? Other than them?

Not one single soul

Not even my father, numb,

From his stints with alcohol

He loves me, I know

But until he's willing

To love me fully

I can't let these things go

I look at those kids

Enjoying their days

They speak to me, but I don't move a lip

I stay silent, come what may

Now four years later

I'm still remote, I know

My father's gotten better

And allowed my life to properly flow

I'm still aloof

The lonewolf that I am

It's just proof

Of the rocky life that I led

From this spot I will not move

Until my scars have fled

And that is the moment

That I will never get

XXXXXXXXXX
