Persist or Perish

Leo's acrostic

Dare I ask for help? I dare

In deep despair this cub cries,

"Somebody? Anybody?" My roars tear through. Either I persist or perish

This world of mine - both stagnant and kinetic

Reaching. There is motion toward solutions

Arriving. Only to be handed rejections. Life's storms now ushered in

Consumed with sadness, Simba's respite lies in taking swigs

Tiktoks, Twitter, my imagination - they are as though overflowing springs

Idylls of curated lives and moments must not deter me

Onwards I shall go. My feet firmly planted in purpose

Nala counsels me, I must find my way back; I must find my way through
