Wolf Clan Daughter

The Wolf Clan Daughter wanted to run.
She wanted to run from her clan,
Like a deer that was being
Hunted by wild hunters.

Her heart soared,
As she knew she was no longer the Wolf Clan Daughter.
She was as free as a bird,
As she rode her motorcycle.

I believe that the wolves were looking for her,
But could not find the
Wolf Clan Daughter,
Because she was no longer controlled by them.

Her hair flew through the wind,
That carried the Wolf Clan’s creed,
As they still, willingly, looked for the
Wolf Clan Daughter.
