Damsel
A light shines deep inside
Strong and sharp , a cloudless
sky
Never to be seen with long
tresses,
I Don't do shy submissive
glances
I abhor ' arm candy' dolled up
in heels and lace
Sorry boys, I won't ever be
your damsel in distress
Weakness is swallowed
And spit out with rage
a trail of glitter on the floor
Shattering delicate sensibilities
A carnivorous flower
Punching with thorns
Sorry boys, I am my own
Knight in Shining armor
