A short poem based on the concept of a Sheep in Wolf's Clothing
You can dress me up
Try to make me pretty
But I'll never be
A thing of beauty

Beauty is
As beauty does
And the things I've done
Aren't good enough

I'm all alone
Trying to be something I'm not
I'm on my own
The sheep in wolf's clothing

Go ahead
Idolize me
Just try not to see
What's inside me

Do what you want
I'll always fall
I'm not as I seem
Not at all

I'm all alone
Trying to be something I'm not
I'm on my own
The sheep in wolf's clothing

Weakness hidden by power
Trial hidden by fame
I'm getting stronger than the hour
Maybe I'll live up to my name

I'm all alone
Trying to be something I'm not
I'm on my own
The Wolf is in sheep's clothing
