I had a friend once,
                  but he stopped saying hello.

                Whatever I said,
                   he would look away

                I thought it was me
                  but I had done no wrong.

                So I stopped saying hello
                    for a while.

                 Until a small voice said
                    this is wrong.

                  So I said hello again
                    with a smile.

                  One day he smiled back
                     and said hello.

                   One can tame a tiger
                       in time.

                    All it takes is
                      patience

                     But first I have to
                       tame the tiger
                          inside.
