"Something is scratching it's way out,

something you want to forget about"

-Little House, The Fray

____________________________________________________________

bare feet against cold ground

running away from fears;

fears of rejection,

outcast of the pack, they say

so much you believe them

lost and alone

so far from home

was it ever really home?

or was it a prison-

an asylum for hungry souls?

are you really alone?

no,

the wind swirls around you

protects you from harm

a sweet serenade

to a lost soul

to a dying heart

they don't know you

not like I do

outcast of the pack, they say

No

you reply

I am not an outcast

I am my own pack

I am my own soul

I am not like you

I am not like any of them

or are you?

are we all hungry and lost souls?

outcasts of our own packs?

are we all animals?

aren't we all animals?
