Wolf ("SIX OF CROWS" INSPIRED COLLECTION)


Those crows they fight

A murder of death and depravity

If only you look under the feather

You may yet see such things as chivalry

 

A man of broken heart

A wolf of broken vow

A battle rages within

A mind thrown around

 

He fights his conscious

A thing of desecrated honor

Who knows which side will win

Who knows which side shall fall

 

A writhing thing lives inside

A passion burning bright

Two sides of a coin flip end over end

Yet his mind isn’t made with time

 

One side is loyal

One side wants what isn’t right

His heart and mind an endless battle

His conscious a thing, absent of settle

 

He is a wolf

He is a man

 

He is in love

He is in hate

 

Who to betray

Who the follow

 

What is black

What is white

 

Is there any grey?


 

(Inspired by the book "Six of Crows"

by Leigh Bardugo)
