I am a lion
Light brown as the grassy plains...

I can't sleep again.
It's already four a.m...

My eyes are red from crying, My head hurts from...

Reflecting windows.
Look past the mirror image...

Touching the ground in a strange yet familiar...
Needing to get some fresh air in my stale lungs...

Sitting here in the room
People all around me...

Sometimes I am so full of self-doubt
I allow myself feel the Worlds pain...

Sticky fingers sliding around
In a circular motion...

A soul cracks into two
Much like a tree; struck upon by lightning...

You gave birth to me;
then left me alone one day...

Deadly words from poisonous tongues
Eat at even the purest of souls...

Yesterday I saw something
That I could not easily explain away...
