Toxic

Siping on this gin & tonic

Feeling very melodic 

Thinking about how things became chaotic.

Baby, I am strong and soft like honeycomb.

Sweet as they come.

Dripping my nectar every where I go,

The colony crowd around me.

Ready to feast on this honey.

Toxic?

something poisonous, or something very harmful or bad.

Darling, I think you forgot I am a she-wolf.

Fierce, brave and loyal.

I am the leader of the pack.

“You are outspoken, baby girl.”

They don’t like that.

They want you to bend over, conform, to their views.

“Don’t be unapologetic, girl.”

They want you to say sorry for their hurt, which you did not inflict.

“Don’t be loud, sweetie.”

They can’t hear their own thoughts, you are too much.

“You are pretty, be quiet and accept, darling.”

Women are not allowed to have their own opinions, their opinions should only count to support them.

But I am the toxic one?

I am the hitch you wish you can dump.

The dirt you can toss, when you want.

The she-wolf knows love, family and kindness.

I rise, always.

I bath in milk and eat honey.

I am stronger, better and braver than you could ever be.

Keep your toxic limps away from me, your words are just rain drops.

Falling onto the sea, the sea cleanses it and bathes me in the sweet bitterness

The moon moulds me from the sand,

The nectar flowing through my veins,

I rise. 

Your words are just a reflection of you, which has nothing to do with me.

You think you can hurt me?

Baby, I’ve been here before. 

You are just the dirt on my windscreen that I washed away when I called on the rain to cleanse me from your bitterness.
