When I was young I was left for the wolves
And taken in by the pack
My parents had left me to rot
And never even looked back

I hated them now as I still do
But they're second on my list
The first took away my hand
Injected poison into my wrist

Back to my story
It's all but complete
The injustice of it all
Will have her record beat

For my adoptive mother left me too
Left me and her blood child
Although by this age we could fend for ourselves
We were still out in the wild

She had a good reason
Killed before our very eyes
If she didn't we'd be dead
Thankfully those weren't lies

With the others we mourned for her
Eventually their parents were gone too
The few of us left grew up real fast
And planned to make them pay their due

Today we stand at the crossroads
Between hell and salvation
Although in the end
It's a metaphor and not our true location

Nowadays we live in peace
Our fight almost won
We've fought off all our foes
Well all except some

Our pack is home to me now
I've got lots of people with me
There's even someone I love
Who brings me to my knee

I hope to be with him someday
In the end we'll see
But for now I'm content
If friends is all we'll be

I guess I shouldn't hate you
You smelled like trees, father
I can't hate the forest that gave me a home
I know why you did it, mother

You cared for my safety
You couldn't keep me at home
She watched over me
I was never alone

Yes, I don't like your choices
But without them who would I be?
A lonely girl with only the plants
Or a woman like me?

I hope you're proud of who I am
Mother, father, whoever you are
I love you both and I'll always be
Your pup, and your little star

Just gotta get that heartwarming ending in there.
