Wolves
Sometimes I see we can compare-
Our humanity with wolves, similarities we share-
Born into a world packed full with rules-
And hard to distinguish the wise from the fools-
Straight from the start taught what to think-
And if we stray alone we are doomed to shrink-
Forced to stay close with the pack-
Because if we leave, can not come back-
Yet sometimes a chance to do what is right-
Only may lead to a bloody fight-
Strength that matters is measured by courage-
Pressure from others only to discourage-
So stand strong, and fresh courage take-
For true courage is impossible to fake-
If it be I'll stand alone-
To show true courage can still be shown-
