I’m a Leo woman, so says my zodiac.

I’m fiery, stubborn and a hard nut to crack.

I’m also loyal and sensitive and yearn for the spotlight.

I’m also pretty lazy and impatient.

.

Features are many, implications abound,

I oscillate between this and that,

But what happens when the lion is made to perform

Antics in a circus under a man, losing his pride?

.

The same has been with me.

Staggering under the conditioning,

I’ve been a puppet with strings in different hands,

Feigning to be bubbly with reality diverse.

.

Despite ups and downs, winter and spring,

I choose to be calm and quiet.

Exhausted of false applause and fake concern,

I prefer to be deaf and blind too.

.

Yet, my heart yearns for the wilderness of the jungle,

Having no borders, roaming free and happy,

In my own land, with my own people,

Where I’m heartily welcome with genuine love.
