You were as brave as a lion

The frightening power you hold, but the warm smile you have feels like gold. moving from school to school feels like jumping from tree to tree, but there’s no guarantee that you will survive, that moment when you feel alive, makes such an impact on the rest of your life. standing up for yourself to the rest of the pack, trying not to get attacked. roaring your ways through the jungle finishing your adventure strong,

with your favourite song, replaying, in your head trying to win the journey by getting ahead. shooting flying everywhere, hiding behind a bush, while physically trying to escape,

while the land reshapes. you see a body lay there, not a movement of bone, you just stood alone. you were as brave as a lion
