The Outsider
The lone wolf stands
outside the circle
always awaiting his cue.
He bides his time
unwilling to abandon
the safety of shadows.
Aiding the pack’s hunt
he earns a place amongst them,
warming his hollow heart.
Cast as an omega
he clings to approval,
remedy for his loneliness.
One day he snaps,
encounters gnashing fangs
and razor-sharp claws.
Banished, he hunts alone
knowing in solitude
the only one he can hurt
is the one he knows best.
