You might think i’m just
a fifteen-year-old boy
with blonde hair
and blue eyes
But I know I am more
way more than that
Not a elephant or a deer
not a bug or a snake
A Tiger
A fast pouncing Tiger
When i’m stalking my prey
hiding away
in the shadows of the night
Or resting in my den
of sorrows
or when i’m put in my cage
known as school
I am a Tiger
starving for freedom
I am righteous
I am strong
I am solid
I am a Tiger
I lay my head down at night
and start my cycle again
in the morning light
