Mice & Lions
?I feel like a mouse. I'm small, and forgotten. Lost in thought and words. I run amok the schoolhouse, lonely. I'm not a loner. I'm just different, that's all. Sometimes it feels good to be alone. My aches and pains are free to yelp with curiosity running through me, I wander through the hallways seeking shelter and a mystery, as always. My curiosity coursing through me, I had one thought racing through my head: Is this the end? I close my eyes and I think to myself: Who am I? What am I? I open my eyes and I see my mystery. Who am I? What am I? Thoughts are racing my brain. The questions unlimited, can I make it? Will I make it after all? The tears bursting through, the sweat running down my face. My eyes close because I can't cry-I have to be strong-I need to be strong: I will be strong! I open my eyes. It was all just a dream: a nightmare but I made: my mystery's not solved. The thoughts still racing through my head the curiosity still coursing through my veins: now do see my pain? Now can you feel my pain? But now I see that I'm extraordinary, impossible to handle: I'm a dog without a leash-I'm a wild animal, I'm no mouse, I'm no rat, no rodent at all-I'm not a cat or a dog... I'm the mighty lion! I can you hear my roar louder than anything, can you hear my growl as I face my fears? Can I slay my demons after all? Will I? I will slay my demons, I can do it-I can face my fears and I can make it-I'm the lion, I'm the king of the jungle. I'm no mouse.

This poem was written over a series of days, when I'd constantly feel alone(due to a few people). After sevral days of feeling this way, I realized I didnt have to listen to what those people wer saying to my face or behind my back. this was one of the first articles that made me want to become an author. I hope people realize that you're never alone in the world.
