The man slept in his bed dreaming

Of a better life than the one he has

He woke up with a jolt, screaming

And faces the wolf who laughs

Your life will never be better

It howled at him

Every night you dream of a lie

You’re stuck to the ground

Little bird you will never fly

The man tried to look away

But he was stuck in its eyes

He wanted to move

But the wolf told him

There’s no use

You’re a failure

You’re a loser

A user

A drug abuser

Life hates people like you

You’re stuck to the ground

Little bird you will never fly

The man looked down and saw

A chain connected from his wrist

To the neck of the wolf

They were tethered

He tried to pull it off

The wolf growled

You won’t ever

Were stuck together forever

Till the day you die

You’re stuck to the ground

Little bird you will never fly
