White Tiger
Pulsing, and beating.
At her side.
Always, the danger.
Lurked in her mind.
She hid it from others.
Her terror and shame.
Afraid of herself.
And the nightmares that came.
If she were to lose it.
To abandon control.
Imaginable guilt.
Would tear at her soul.
Always her mind.
Was riddled with "ifs."
If her human side.
Fell down a dark abyss.
She had to be perfect.
Protect her kin.
Yet always be weary.
Of the tiger within.
