Devil
sometimes I feel the fire is dead
than I find someone talking shit
it ignites my core
reawakening the rebel in me
got my new shades on
think I might fly closer to the sun
don't think if you try me
I won't return to my former glory
come at me, I'm a wolf
fangs out, ready to pounce
this world will kick you down
a fact I know much about
so I choose to fight
every false accusation
a shpening of the knife
for the next confrontation
I have no sympathy or mercy
calling me a devil
like I give a shit
but really I want peace
if only people would let me be
speaking in tongues
I don't need fist to hurt someone
my greatest strength is my wit
so run, run, run, away
you're much too inexperienced
you haven't yet learned
about life's little disasters
keep pushing your luck
I'll show you the ropes
making you wish
you had never been born
than I find someone talking shit
it ignites my core
reawakening the rebel in me
got my new shades on
think I might fly closer to the sun
don't think if you try me
I won't return to my former glory
come at me, I'm a wolf
fangs out, ready to pounce
this world will kick you down

I use Twitter to get those aggressions out on the all knowing egos on there...release it into the wild

Haha. That is definitely a rabbit hole one can get lost in. Poetry helps me get those emotions out. Always feel a lot better when it write a poem like this.

You have such a brilliant knack for expelling that no holds barred, stark truth. I really appreciate how brave and honest you delve and aspire to include that ability more into my own writing... Thanks for the reminder, 'to thine own self be true,' indeed. It's great to hear from you, DC!
Hope you are doing well, despite the angst of the purge...

My anger kind of works as a strength. Poetry can help me clear my mind as well.
Yes, I am doing good. Been busy with life stuff but that's not always bad.
Thank for the read, friend 😁
