I am a wolf
lost in darkness
I walk alone
searching for the light

I am a student
with many questions
I must strengthen my mind
to find the anwers

I am a brick wall
taking life as it hits me
I am solid and strong
nothing can break me

I am a thread
in the blanket of life
holding tight and strong
until I snap in two

I am a tree
standing tall and proud
blowing in the wind
never changing what I am
