Kings
by mish525
Yesterday morning I received some news that has sent me into a wash of emotions. I have been in shock, angry, sad, angry, sad, angry, sad, and angry and sad. I told myself that cooler heads prevail. I was so thrown, I didn’t know what to do. I have made a decision.
I AM THE LIONESS.
Let this slice be a message to…
the woman who threatened my little cub. Your opinion about my son means nothing. I am the lioness who will roar until no one can hear you any longer. I will claw and hunt my way to make sure my cub is safe from your ignorance and illness. I AM THE LIONESS who will follow you through the bush to see you no longer are able to have contact with any person of special ability.
I AM THE LIONESS
Let this slice be a message to…
the teachers who care for my cub and help him find his way. YOU are his protectors when I am gone. YOU are his strength, and his voice. YOU love my little cub as if he was your own. I thank you for keeping him safe. I AM THE LIONESS who welcomes you into our pride. I am deeply indebted to you.
I AM THE LIONESS
Let this slice be a message to…
all reading. I AM THE LIONESS and my cubs are my life. If I am empowered, so are they. If I am fierce, so are they. If I roar, so will they. Look out for my cubs. They will be kings someday.

What a beautiful piece, Michele! You are a lioness and those boys are your strong cubs! Remind me never to get on your bad side!
Yes, ma’am!! You are the Lioness and I hear you roar!! And so do all those who come in to contact with your Cubs. I love everything about this slice. We are all on notice – and deservedly so. Don’t mess with the children, I mean tthe Cubs! We will ensurethat they gbecome Kings one day. Yes!!! “
This is perfection- the starting point of it, coming from ignorance, is not. Your cubs are indeed strong and protected. How dare someone think otherwise.
Outstanding. I adore your cubs! Kings! Yes!
Beautiful Writing!
Your boys are so lucky to have you as their momma!
This screams vent-session and the emotion is raw but so right on. The message, I am the lioness, to me felt so organic to the vulnerability of your child. I don’t think I would want to know what someone said or did or alluded or anything specific here. There’s no end to a mother’s love and fierce protection. Your slice is meant and taken as a powerful message. Your little guy is going to grow strong in your care, no doubt. Wishing you well.
Such a powerful slice Michele.
You are the lionness and I can hear you roar! I wouldn’t want to cross your path right now. I don’t know what happened, but I’m glad you’re asserting yourself and standing up for your kids (who you know best).
What out for that ROAR!!! I’ll hear you, and come running to help.
Wowza. This piece gave me goosebumps all the way through. Powerful, powerful writing. The ending line about your cubs being kings. wow. Great, great Slice.
This IS a powerful piece! Your message comes across loud and clear. The structure, the repetition, the message, the ending- all perfection!
What a great piece!! Keep roaring for your little guy, he needs you to advocate.
Very powerful. I understand. Keep roaring, because the need doesn’t stop.
