Panther

Always on the prowl
Searching for something new
A hunger that burns inside
Ready to flame at any moment
Sometimes it takes days
Even nights just wandering around
Keeping an open eye 
On the vast world ahead

Finally, you see what you want
And you give chase
Once you have it in your grasp
You never want to let go
But sometimes, life isn't always fair
And it slips away

No matter how much it hurts
Or should I say, how hungry you are
You're left with no choice
But to keep pursuing
And to keep in mind
Someday, your match will be met
