My Tiger Poem by Amera Andersen

My Tiger

Rating: 4.0


When my thoughts are turned within,
There lives a Tiger I obey.
I find my other self… my twin.

Protecting me from mortal sin,
She blossoms like a fresh bouquet.
When my thoughts are turned within.

She waits in silence with a grin
And enemies are easy prey.
I find my other self… my twin.

A part of me that waits therein;
My Tiger keeps my foes at bay.
When my thoughts are turned within.

My Tiger waits beneath my skin
And she has never run astray.
I find my other self… my twin.

My other self, my discipline;
Harm me and she’ll make you pay.
When my thoughts are turned within,
I find my other self… my twin.
