My sadness is a lion I like to pretend isn't in the room. Truthfully he lies just under my chair, the forced smile, waiting to be awoke by my sorrow and devour me one sob at a time. His claws, the rush of adrenaline, and his strength, the memories, crush my windpipe. I am the lioness. The lion is my leader.

Lioness
My sadness is a lion I like to pretend isn't in the room. Truthfully he lies just under my chair, the forced smile, waiting to be awoke by my sorrow and devour me one sob at a time. His claws, the rush of adrenaline, and his strength, the memories, crush my windpipe. I am the lioness. The lion is my leader.
