maybe the wolf is my mother? running after me in jealousy as my heart pounds to get away, begging for escape. i am the lamb, maybe the wolf is my brother, chasing me as a child, his touch frightening and unkind. I am the lamb, and maybe the wolf is my father, ripping and biting at my throat so my screams cannot be heard. i am the lamb, pure, innocent, and covered in blood. for what is left of me, if the wolf wears my skin.

I Am The Lamb
maybe the wolf is my mother? running after me in jealousy as my heart pounds to get away, begging for escape. i am the lamb, maybe the wolf is my brother, chasing me as a child, his touch frightening and unkind. I am the lamb, and maybe the wolf is my father, ripping and biting at my throat so my screams cannot be heard. i am the lamb, pure, innocent, and covered in blood. for what is left of me, if the wolf wears my skin.
i edited it a little just played around with the lines and changed a few words!
