Why me?
I stumbled upon you through simple curiosity
In a field I was a child
There you stood, a monstrous ant pile
Unsuspecting, I got bitten
Pain behind every word I've written
Your poison got under my skin
And ever since, that's where its been
It stayed and sank into my fragile veins
What's worse;
A weeks bruise or a year's pain?

It stayed and sank into my fragile veins

I approve. I like how you placed a question at the beginning and end, fitting it with the title. The emotion and imagery is beautiful. Good job, keep it up.

I like the innocence portrayed and how you gave a subtle clue at how naive we allow ourselves to be in moments of curiosity and passion... I thought you had a paint brush.. Magic with a pen

Wow, thank you for the wonderful words. I'm so happy you get what I was trying to say.
