can you see it in my eyes as I stand here watching you come into my home and take from me.
I am a Lion and I rule the jungle and I am not afraid of what you may think will protect you from me.
My eyes show the fire that burns inside me when you think I am just someone who will stand by and let you destroy things dear to me.
I was not born to let you walk all over me and think that one day I won’t bounce back and pounce on you.
I don’t regret any of the things I have done for it is in my nature to sense when danger or fools are on my land.
I do my best to behave but, there is only so much I can take and when I’m ready and have made up my mind there is no turning back and as you cry out no one will save you from me.
I will think little of you when you are gone and soon the earth will break down your remains and you will be forgotten as the next meal becomes available to me.
