By Maquebeo 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.
