nobody pets the tiger

i can see you are forlorn……..feel you have been scorned…….i know you’re not ready to talk………………i have a clue what’s going on with you……..seems it’s a pattern that you often take……..when you get tired of being defiant and hostile……..you know the look by now…….give me a call……

a week goes by and i have heard you moan and cry and we meet for a walk in the park………………we sat on a bench and throw popcorn to the ducks………and you finally can’t take it and ask..”okay what do you see…..what are your thoughts”…………..

thought you’d never ask

”when you’d been to the zoo……..often there are tigers in a cage and you respect them……….for their power and strength…….. you are glad you are safe and they can’t come any closer……no one is trying to climb walls or fences so they can pet the tiger……..you are living like a caged animal and when people get close, you attack them………..no one wants to pet the tiger…………..this is a pattern you go to and have been praticing for years……..how’s it working for you……..”

you threw the popcorn in my face and stormed off…….only to call and apologize and said you appreciated my honesty…….

hope you work through it and break the cycle……..

remember ………nobody pets the tiger
