The Owl

Loneliness

 

can be infinite

 

when you choose to live

 

by your heart.

 

No compromise

 

you’re willing to fight

 

for what you know is right

 

in your soul,

 

each and every day

 

no matter what they say.

 

You’ll never feel okay

 

if you don’t.

 

Never give in

 

you can’t let them win

 

just stay the person you’ve been

 

all along.

 

In a book I read

 

there was an owl that lived

 

in a tree that was dead

 

and decayed.

 

He was resigned

 

to the fact he would die

 

when the tree could not find

 

strength to stand.

 

And like that owl

 

you will find out

 

that you must stay bound

 

to your choice.

 

Ignore the cost

 

far more would be lost

 

if your morals you did not

 

follow.

 

It’s better to

 

always be true

 

to what really matters to you

 

in the end.
