"Despite everything, no one can dictate who you are to other people," - Prince


I am the powerful tiger that sleeps up in the tree

Peaceful and happy with its kin.

The powerful tiger who knows what’s best not to mess with

Choosing its battles instead of being reckless

The powerful tiger looks over its domain

That beautiful jungle

Never in vain

That powerful tiger walks the ground

Its small little cubs dancing around

The powerful tiger never needs to hide

For it loves it kingdom

With all heart, soul, and mind

The powerful tiger watches over the weak

Only preying upon what it can eat

The powerful tiger

All graceful and free

Wouldn’t you wish you were more like me

I am the powerless tiger that weeps for the trees

All lost in the world of destruction

The powerless tiger who has lost in all battles

No more home to go back to

The powerless tiger who lost its domain

That screaming jungle

constantly in pain

That powerless tiger who fights for its ground

Its small little cubs taken and drowned

The powerless tiger who always needs to hide

Forgiving its kingdom

With all heart, soul and mind

The powerless tiger soon turned so weak

Predator to prey in just a short week

That powerless tiger

Caged up with a key

Never again will you ever see me…
