I know a tiger
And I continue to let it surprise me
But I am the predator
For expecting it to change
Really how can a tiger
Apologize for its stripes
I put a tiger by my side
I liked the attention and imagery
But despite all my hope I know it will never be
The kitten I tell people it is inside
Yes I know a tiger
And I can’t blame it when it STRIKES
It is ignorant
It can’t comprehend and step outside
How long can I ignore
And let the tiger roam in my life?
I know a tiger
And it will never know it is a tiger
And that
Is the problem
