Hope is lost
Life is gone
I saw the light fade
But will I see dawn?
I fell into a pit
Couldn't find a path
Because of my lacking
I suffered the lion's wrath
It bit and clawed
Up and down my arm
The lion is self
And it is the harm
It walks towards me
I try to hide
Flashes of life
And its surreal ride
Stone cold eyes
Glare in the dark
As the lion walks
Across the park
It leaps up-
Then is still
A moment of mind
A second to fill
Should I move?
What will it change
I could move,
But I'd still be in range
The lion moves again
And at this I jump
To the fear and breath
My heart will pump
Dark passes while
I try to get away
Finally the lion fades
The light is here-another day.
But again I know
I'll have to face
The lion again
In it's home base
But next time
I might lose
The irony of it,
That I must choose.
