Lioness enclosure

Location

I live in a lions den 
Only but I know that I'm 
living 
When they look into my eyes they see 
Death 
 
I live in a lions den 
The leader feast upon as he pleases
The lionesses don't peep a word 
For they fear they're next 
 
I live in a lions den
Sometimes I raise my head and wonder 
Maybe they are right 
Maybe this isn't living 
Maybe this is what death is like 
 
I've been living in a lions den since the age of 5 
I'm ready to prance around the prairies with the gazelle 
To find a mate who loves me and bare children 
But most importantly 
I don't wanna say 
I live in a lions den 
Anymore .
