Prototypical predator
But know you not what he hunts for
Keeping urges suppressed
Mental agony to endure
When uncaged
It can be contained no more
Shallow smile, beaten eyes
Labored tears, unheard cries
External strength
A mask put on for the crowd
Internal augury
The silence is so loud
Cold to strangers
Longs for the love everyone is allowed
Through final thoughts he tries to persevere
To summon the will to conquer his fear
So he gave it all away
The shell he'd built was gone in a day
Left alone, left astray
He figured out far too late
It was so much simpler to view the world with hate
Than to search within it for a soulmate
No matter the barrier there's always a few
Who can take one look and see right through
Nocturnal predator
Within his chest beats a heart just like yours

"External strength

I like those lines and the last two a lot... the title itself resounds off of them, I think. Wonderful.
Keep writing,
-Eve. |

This was pretty good. Most seem to exude confidence when they truly have only doubt inside.
Very good write. |

Never realised you entitled one such as this.
Lionheart - an excellent description of leo characteristics, with added grace.
An insightful read.
Thanks for sharing. |
