Paper Tiger
Yeah well
i'd rather be
a paper tiger
than an predatory cat
i dont look good
in orange
and black
and my roar is about as terrifying
as my bite
neither of which
would keep you up
at night
speaking of which
i don't burn either
and definatly not bright
i may smoulder
a little bit
but only if you are ok
with it
i am a paper tiger
only as scary
as difficult folds
no claws
just creases
no teeth
just vowels
no camouflage
to hide behind
and leap out upon a prey
just truth and words
and a heart on open display
