My Tiger

Turning my thought, deep within
Extracted feelings to obey
I found my other self… my twin.

Saving me, from mortal sin
Masking herself from display
Turning my thought, deep within.

Waiting with an alarming grin
My enemies are her prey
I found my other self… my twin.

My other self, waits therein
Tiger keeps my foes at bay
Turning my thought, deep within.

She’s my tiger deep within
Protecting me, when I pray
I found my other self… my twin.

Crouched and ready to begin
Harm me and I’ll make you pay
Turning my thought, deep within
I found my other self… my twin
