I am a sheep in Wolf’s clothing With a silver-lined tongue Looking everywhere for the one place My sharp-toothed mask may be hung My habits are more suited For the habitat I inhabit Thank my truest sense of self Who longs to love the lonely rabbit I speak words of poignant truth That effervesce unbidden From within my deepest reaches The parts of me which I keep hidden Sometimes the things I say Are so bold and unexpected I realize they were not needed Only once I’ve genuflected I see myself, since being here And like not my pale façade A man of faith, extended Grace Pretends to be something he’s not.

The Real Me
I am a sheep in Wolf’s clothing With a silver-lined tongue Looking everywhere for the one place My sharp-toothed mask may be hung My habits are more suited For the habitat I inhabit Thank my truest sense of self Who longs to love the lonely rabbit I speak words of poignant truth That effervesce unbidden From within my deepest reaches The parts of me which I keep hidden Sometimes the things I say Are so bold and unexpected I realize they were not needed Only once I’ve genuflected I see myself, since being here And like not my pale façade A man of faith, extended Grace Pretends to be something he’s not.
