by<\/em> Arielle Knowles<\/em><\/p>\n

She walks with all the grace and perfection of a dancer
\nHer delicate beauty is that of a snowy mountain
\nAnd like a pre-pubescent boy, I drool over her
\nBut an aura of terror surrounds her
\nFear is inflicted upon my heart when I set my eyes upon her
\nShe is like a tiger; one wrong move and it is all over
\nBut just like the tiger, she is misunderstood
\nThe tiger does not know how terrifying it is
\nShe only does what she knows is best for survival<\/p>\n

Like the tiger, she is not meant to be in a cage, she is meant to roam free
\nBut she makes her own cage for her own safety
\nI would love to sit and stare, memorizing every exotic feature,
\nBut the look in her eyes is enough to make me turn the other way
\nIf I could just see that smile,
\nSee all hatred erased from that face,
\nSee her free herself from that cage,
\nThen her true beauty would shine like a thousand suns
\nBut the world does not let her
\nShe will just have to remain a fearful beauty<\/p>\n
