It’s just me

Stretching my wings to see if I could fly, 
In heavy winds I thought that I would die. 

Drank the water flowing from the stream, 
Didn’t quench me if you know what I mean. 

Saw an eagle flying high, 
What stops me from reaching his sky?

In the valleys deep below,
That’s where I seem to often go. 

On the mountains high in the mist,
I never seem to find this bliss. 

You never knew me this is true, 
But if you did you’d see me too. 

A lonely wolf I walk alone,
Nowhere seems to be my home. 

If I only knew what I could do, 
Maybe then I’d stand next to you. 

But alas that will never be, 
Because in me you’ll never see.
