Run with the Wolves and be a Sheep!

When the world is dark and too ugly to move, turn on a light and paint to make it beautiful again.

When the world is too dark and ugly to move,

I’ll turn on a light and paint,

Remind them of the world that was once a beautiful place.

Why’s everyone in a rush?

They're in such a rush to enjoy earth,

But never stop to breathe the earth.

Need a moment to enjoy the moment.

But why?

We once had a moment, but we grew up and became adults,

We forgot how to just enjoy being in tune with oneself and our surroundings.

The ones who do are different. A weird different. People are staring. People are judging.

I like it.

I rather be in tune with oneself and being me to my fullest with all the judgment,

Then be a sheep run by people who think they are Alpha.

But what happens when you go against the Alpha and become the Omega?

You get canceled. Lost and forgotten.

Can’t disappear when you become the Alpha.

It’s your story. Own it.

Alpha only is top dog because of control.

Can’t be Alpha if there’s nothing to control.

And if you get outcasted,

Does it even matter? Wasn’t that the who’ll point of becoming an Alpha?

To have your own control?

But when it comes, a person can’t be outcasted.

The Alpha won’t allow it. He can’t allow it.

But when the world is dark and ugly,

I’ll continue to turn on the light and make it beautiful. Again.

Even the biggest Alpha can sit for a moment.
