• I look into a mirror
    Looking back at me I see a panther
    Strong, beautiful and proud
    It’s sleek black coat
    Resembles my usual black attire
    Calm and quietly it roams
    But makes its presence known when needed
    Always thinking of what to do and how to do it
    Trapping her prey inside her little mind game
    Mysterious and unpredictable
    You never know what she will do
    All the thoughts running inside her head dying to get free
    Every step she takes
    She takes with pride and power
    Never afraid of anything
    Watching
    Observing
    When no one knows she’s there
    Taking in everything around her
    That is a panther
    That is me
