I lie with my thoughts on these darkest nights Asking the stars what it is like to shine For this lackluster glow is my one plight Being seen to the common-folk as swine My manners are not described as the best But when you’re raised by wolves how do you know How to bring your social class to the crest When you’re on the run from a hunter’s bow The rules are simple or so it would seem You stay in your castle and I in wood I’ll watch at your window, for that faint gleam The moonlight always made you look so divine. I will run back to my family and tribe Don’t worry, by the rules I best abide.

Sonnet from an Animal
I lie with my thoughts on these darkest nights Asking the stars what it is like to shine For this lackluster glow is my one plight Being seen to the common-folk as swine My manners are not described as the best But when you’re raised by wolves how do you know How to bring your social class to the crest When you’re on the run from a hunter’s bow The rules are simple or so it would seem You stay in your castle and I in wood I’ll watch at your window, for that faint gleam The moonlight always made you look so divine. I will run back to my family and tribe Don’t worry, by the rules I best abide.
