The Lioness

I am the lioness
My individual unique style
All my hair is worth the while
Beautiful, astonishing form
Wildlife the habitat, where I belong
Teeth as sharp as life
What I am I can not describe
My characteristic traits are not hard for me to hide

For I am the lioness
I roam around
My head's in the clouds
I was mining my own
Then suddenly
Out of the blew
I was trapped
Locked away in a cage
Never to be seen in this world so cold
Thrown away to be on display
While runing away from my own dismay
