Wild

You stand

Alone

Surrounded by animals 

Who don't have the intelligence to know

That you are cold 

You run and play smoke all ******* day

Never trying to chase your demons away 

And you see me 

Me

And you laugh? 

What an odd thing

That the only real person around you is to be laughed at by a man with a mask 

You mask your fears 

You mask your love

You mask your kindness 

But I know it all 

I know the things that can make you fall 

I know it all

So stand and laugh

With your hyenas in tow 

Your swine cannot hurt me

I only ever glow
