the tiger and social media

what you see is not always what you get,
like a tiger scared by a house cat.
we sometimes forget
that appearances can be deceiving
just like we’re trained to master the act of concealing
the emotions that don’t serve our audience
in a zoo they all want
to see a tiger at its finest performance 
no one knows the struggles of the tiger
since no eye sees behind the curtain where life seems to be a little harsher.
