LIONESS 🦁

                                  

They saw me

They thought that I was like them

They judged me too soon

They thought I was of their clan

They raised me as if I was theirs

They thought they could do anything

But little did they know I was different

 

They ridiculed me for sometimes letting out

They told me to suffer

They taught that it was in my destiny

They gave me wounds

Wounds that were never healed

Those that turned into scars

It became for me a reminder of my uneasy past

A past that I wish no one ever undergoes

 

I groaned

I gave little roars

But they said I shouldn’t roar

They told that I shouldn’t be me

Who are they to decide who I am?

It continued...

Continued for so long that soon it became unbearable

To hide 'myself' from me

But they woke it up

Now you see the rage and vengeance I kept

At the bottom of my heart

That roar frightened all those who made myself forget who I was

That roar was that of a lioness

A lioness who was told not to hunt

Not to roar

They asked her what is a lioness without her lion?

Now I want to answer

Still a lioness

Her life’s destiny is not decided by her mates

Its by her creator and by her

She pounced forward and gave a hunt

A hunt that she was forbidden

A hunt that showed who she was

A lioness who can roar with all her might

And hunt when she wants and what she wants

Now that they have seen the real her

Her hunt began for what is hers

A hunt that took her to her dreams

And there she was, she is and will be

The LIONESS…
