"I Am Stronger Than I Admit"
By Chris Soucy
I am stronger than I admit
and weaker than I fear
I am wolf in people's clothing
so you best not come near
I bite when I am angry
and snap when I'm scared
I worship the moonlight
and I keep my teeth bared
I feel the beast under my skin
he's on the hunt tonight
I can't keep him hidden for long
best to stay out of sight
if I've caught your scent
you cannot hide from me
best prepare for battle
I suggest silver weaponry
if you really want to live
then you must make sure I die
don't hesitate or misgive
there's no human behind my eye
I howl to warn you I'm coming
I howl to give you a chance
arm yourself and be at the ready
for this cursed, bloody dance
