Working Hard
She can set everything on fire,
But she would never stop and take
Notice. She only feels her own desire
For success. She wants to make
Every man feel weak and powerless.
She is never the one who will fake
Her own confidence. She is the mess
And chaos. She is also the calm
And will never be the one to confess
Her sins to the greedy. Her palm
Faces up not to surrender, but to
Help those who need it. She is a bomb
In the making, never taking shit from you
Because she is built from the ground
Up. Do not run to her when you screw
And mess it all up because she is bound
To not care about your pathetic excuses.
She is death, quiet without making a sound.
She never apologizes for her bruises
Or ugly scars. You should be the one who
Is running scared. She chooses
To see her life from the top window and view
Without being selfish. She works hard for
The money. She sees past everything that blew
Up. She has made the choice to restore
Her own happiness, trust and faith.
I caution you to think extremely hard before
She comes to destroy you like a wraith.
She does not float in the light like a halo,
But she also refuses to forever bathe
In the darkness like a lost child with yellow
Hair like the sunlight. Watch out for the
Lava that is coming out of her like a volcano.
