Analysis of The Lone Wolf
I am misunderstood
Lost and alone in the wood
Disoriented as to which way to turn
Not knowing what I yearn
Figuring out a path to take
But always too much foliage to rake
And as I look to the sky
And see that bird flying high
The lone wolf can only sit and stare
Life's taken its toll feeling despair
In a society that you have to conform
Where individuality is not the norm
Dare to question or not follow the consensus
You will be shunned upon with its consequences
So you learn to withdraw and not face the battle
No longer be part of the everyday cattle
But somewhere you have to belong
So that in your heart you have a song
So never give up and instead climb the tree
And reach for that bird flying free
For that is where you are meant to be
And flocks will soon fly high with thee
