The tiger lies asleep.
In the caverns of the soul.
The sunlight never enters,
To make his and her dreams whole.
The tiger in the darkness prowls,
The tiger in the darkness growls.
You have your great vision,
Formed carefully with precision.
Yet, you hesitate to fulfill your dream,
Lacking the confidence to make it real.
You walk and you roam in the wild,
Like a lost and forgotten child.
All the dreams that you hold dear,
Are lost and abandoned with every passing year.
To finally fulfill your ambitious dreams,
You need to believe in who you are.
To make all those great visions a reality,
You need to push each and every boundary.
Remember that it is not a sin,
To release the tiger hidden within.
Set the tiger free to walk in the rain,
Let her be free to work miracles again.
Break those bars of platinum and steel,
That hold you back from your destiny.
Remove those barriers that hold you in,
It is time to release your tiger from within.
I love this poem, Warren. It's so encouraging. I know that feeling of being afraid to follow my dreams, so I take baby steps to release the tiger within me.
