Today I felt like a lion,
So Strong it seemed unreal.
I roared and clawed the fear away,
For my pride it tried to steal.

For a day my mistakes were decisions,
And all my struggles were fuel
For the fire that seems to be tempering me
And wisening this stubborn fool.

Some day I hope to feast upon,
The beast I fought today.
But this beast is strong of heart and wit,
And refuses to go away.

It's true most days I feel like a lamb,
But I try to keep on trying.
If I fall, at least I know,
One day I spent as a lion.
