Beer and Cake for Betty
Her ferocity
has been
the shield
for her fragility
My girl, Betty
Her talent oozes
drips right
off the page
as she applies
her makeup
to cover her
heart bruises
her body and words
weapons of destruction
sisters in solidarity
in this war of
love, lust and trust
some days it feels like
the end of us
but carry on
we must
The battlefield
strewn with bodies
battered and bloodied
her white flag torched
My girl, Betty
heart in tact
defeat scorched
Rises

Thank you, my friend.
But this poem is for Betty. She's a force to be reckoned with and a woman I hold in high esteem.

Dear H,
You’re killing it with another homage! You’ve put a spotlight on such a powerhouse writer in a beautiful manner. H🌷

I can certainly agree with your words, she is a force of poetic nature as befits her armoured looking avatar..

I love that you highlight that fierce disguises fragility. It's so true for many & definitely with Betty. She's a true firestorm...& an incredible poetess

Thanks, girl
It is true for so many of us, but I believe she embodies that. Her work moves me in ways only she can express.
I’m grateful that the different parts of me identify with so many here. In a world where I’ve often felt alone, DUP has shown me that I’m not.
Ok. I’m done blabbing …lol.

Oh. My. GOD. This is so stunning that I felt admiration and humility track down my face like little water falls.
That you would ...
The fuck, girl, you making me cry like a toddler with a skinned knee.
Thank you for being my friend. Beer and cake, my sister.
Thank you for seeing me like this.
Love the fuck out of you.
