Gatekeeper

a roar a purr
i am the gatekeeper
of my heart
of what goes in 
and what comes out
a big overgrown lion
i roar mostly i purr

At some point we all see ourselves as big brave lions, nevertheless, I'm glad you purr. Well done.

This was nice, I love how you did this. Fiercely protective but cuddly at the same time. : )
