Hiding Tiger

Hiding tiger in my tree

Watching stallions wild and free

Wishing I was one of these

I make them an enemy

Villianizing fantasy

I owe an apology

What I wanted was to be

Seen and loved for being me

Stay inside the sky and seethe -

Writhe and cry and beg and bleed

Maybe, but eventually...

I'll come down and crown myself

Queen

Someday

Walk on water, weave through air

Human here I guess - who cares?

I'll stand by my sea and stare

Someday I'll be back in there

Why

White like the lies in the words we don't speak

Clear as the tears from the sky while I weep

Dim like the light of your ship lost at sea

Why would you steer from our island I keep?

Cost is your soul when you sold it to be...

Seen by the eye that can not actually see

What could I write that would let me feel free?

Why? Must I die? Please deliver me peace
