Lone Wolf

I've always had a great amount of respect and admiration for wolves. I often see myself as this very lone wolf, so this was the result of those feelings.

I am a renegade no more

My ronin blood cooled

I have found a new pack

This lone wolf no longer

Once a slave to opinion

Imprisoned by fear

Tortured by the thoughts of others

Soul crushed more each day

Heart heavy with "what if's"

Maybe not Alpha

Definitely not Omega

But a member of the pack

To howl at the moon

To walk beside his own kind again

No longer trapped

A save to no one

Love again for self and others

Hoping to walk with a new mate

Willing she may be to my true self

No longer cold in winter

Dancing like it is spring

Wanting endless summer nights

Falling deeper in love with each passing day

A lone wolf no more

Forever free

I like the idea that you are no longer a slave to opinion. That is very freeing in itself! Love the free feeling in the poem! Nicely written!

Thank you Honey - an older piece signalling my change into a better man after long battle with bad relationships and the such.
