I thought I had a heart of gold, bravery my motto, but I am not like the king of jungle. I am just a boy.


I Am No Lion

I am no lion

A lion prowls his kingdom
With no fear
He knows no terror

I am no lion

A golden crown upon his head
A heart of bravery
A badge of his deeds

I am no lion

King of the wilderness; Leo
Victory songs burst from his lips
Such a beautiful creature

I am no lion

Just a boy

Daybreaker
I liked this one as well! =)

A bit of truthful confession. We really need to allow ourselves to not always be the lion!

A strong confession in deed!

An admirable confession-admission....
it could also be an anthem.... and a constant reminder of how much more able you are of reaching far more noble than any king of the jungle.... and moreso - a better chance of culling your baser and less impeccable instincts..... Just got to rate this one.

Threre is a soulful, quiet and honest poignancy about this poem. I like it!

Haha no you're not a lion... a lion couldn't have typed this out with his claws, the keys from the keyboard would have been ripped out of the keyboard... lol...
I'm just glad you have a lion's heart in a boy's soul.
