Poem
Tiger in a Cage (a stab at men) Like a caged tiger. You do not know what is in my den? There is no worse feeling than the way I pace back and forth repeatedly. A headless collar is all you see. The closer I get, the more you seem to pretend. To you these stripes look more like dots. As you, continue to hold my lines and strands in your hand. You stroke my stripes as if they were a loft of dental floss. An ORANGE all squishy and rot. Rough and tough! You cannot peel what you cannot feel. You do not know me at all? You trust me. You lace me. You cannot describe the buds. You cannot feel my fingertips. A taste of nothing out of your lips. Indian BLACK streaks in my skin. How did you manage to even get in? We mount this unspeakable stability. A man-eater swallowing her growl. This hunger is piercing throughout my veins. Hiding the powerful black star sapphire in my eyes. Every move I plan ricochets. A tiger, a tiger in her cage. Only in your world, I am my own prey. My wildness is rarely found above my skin. Every day I wear this heavy coat, my stripes continue to sink in. It is a solitary confinement when you are around. You cannot see the black diamonds under this unbearable frown. Dingy claws, tapping…… Natures dew bestows a toneless mixture of orange and black tattoo. These stripes, belittle my self-esteem. The moon flashes overlapped our taboo. Never will you see a tigers gleam. Spirituality waiting to rise above the trees. It is my choice, to stand behind these unbreakable twigs. Fertilizing like pollen under a blanket of bees. Still the effects of your eclipse, bounce off my wall. I am telling you! You don't know me at all? The roads these loads continue to grow. Far ahead, I am the gravel under your toes. Crouching like a Tiger hiding the way a dragon breathes. You don't know how I feel! I am a tiger in a cage please set me free! by;pd "Breed to Breathe" by Napalam Death http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKP9aaFkEEQ
