the lion's mind

this is my kingdom  

you drive by   

in your metal box  

with eyes wide open  

and heart racing fast  

but I am still  

wondering if you know  

how heavy the crown  

rests upon my head  

and how many souls  

have come and gone  

beneath my gaze  

do you feel the weight  

of my silent roar  

as I watch you watch  

me living my truth  

in the sun’s embrace  

with no fear at all  

I am the ruler  

you only get a glimpse  

of my wild heart  

dare you come closer  

or stay in your space  

and admire from afar
