On My Own

When I was a baby lion, I did not know how to survive
I depended on you for that jungle to thrive 

And I was confused when you ventured into the sunset 
And I'm not sure if that was ever a regret 

Because I ventured on my own, looking for a bone
Searching for you as I was your minor clone 

And when I reached the hill tops for the view 
That's when I knew, that our relation was through 

So I decided that it was better to go in the other direction 
And make my name a combo of fear and protection 

I didn't need you, I was the perfect being on my own 
Defend the lion kingdom and established my throne 

I ventured the world in exaggerated amounts of luxury 
And the jungle, yes they loved me

But when they all slept, I buried into my heart and wept 
My image messy, and my actions unkept 

All I wanted was for you to return 
And not leave me in the burn 

Of all the world, my life was twirled 
And all I wanted was to be next to you curled 

On My Own was featured in Art Block Zine Vol. 4, Issue 1 titled, Normal.
