Lost for a Lion

i feel as though i have lost myself
caught in the disarray of this world
i tried so hard to fit into the mould of the perfect person
and look where it got me
i'm so hurt from what i did
and i don't think that i can ever recover

so if you tell me to act normal,
just remember, you may have wanted a simple house cat
but instead you raised and nurtured a lioness

i will not be the one you want,
for i will only treat myself with kindness until i feel i have recovered
this world with their standards,
is simply not good enough for my untamed wild
