LIONESS

There was a time when I was meek tears streaming down with effortless ease Amidst the hollers, the taunts, the cries The tears would flow like autumn leaves But the hunted has turned hallowed I rise with a lion’s might Gone are the days of silent shadows I am a roar in the heart of the night With the poise of the jungle’s regal beast I roar with valor, my spirit unleashed With hollering, bullying, and screaming, the tears didn’t miss me The ones who were once preyed upon are now the ones being prayed upon Now, I stand boldly, ready to unleash A powerful roar that resonates with you as a lion’s feast In the days of yesteryear, I existed merely as a whisper in the wind Tears would fall at the slightest bend Now, I stride with the fierce grace of a lion With a roar of courage, I boldly claim the capacity in Mount Zion
