RAISED BY WOLVES

Raised by wolves, I say
Unable to fit in
Declaring from the mountain top
I never lose, I win.

Proclaiming…I don’t need you
I’d rather be alone
I’m cold, I’m curt, I’m ruthless
My heart is made of stone.

Raised by wolves, I say
No gratitude or shame
No remorse or guilt felt here
There’s someone else to blame.

Spare me your advice on life
I’ll figure it out myself
I never look to anyone
I don’t require advice or help.

Raised by wolves, I say
A stark, cold reality
A world without compassion
A blatant tragedy.
