I Am a Leo

February 25, 2015

I am a Leo

like the stars have said.

Brave and courageous

like the lion itself.

 

However, I doubt

if I have courage

because I cower

when there is trouble.

 

Also, I doubt

if I am brave

because I run

when problems arise.

 

Although I cower and run,

I face life head on.

Like the stars have

written and predicted.

 

I am admired and loved

by the people whom

I hold dearly

like the stars have said.

 

I cower and run.

I also care and protect.

I become brave and courageous

when I fight for love.

 

The stars are not wrong,

nor are they right.

They give advice

and guide many.

 

The stars say things

that tell me actions

I should take

or things that will help me.

 

In reality,

the stars have an idea

of who i really am

an an individual.

 

Because the truth is,

the stars do not dictate

who i really am

an an individual.

 

Therefore, I am a Leo

as the stars said.

Not brave or courageous

but a strong fighter.

Like the king of the jungle.

Like the lion itself.
