Advice To a Potential Honey

Twirling my truth like the tornado that I can be I do not care, expect, or anticipate you catching up with me. I can be cruel, crass, and crabby for sure. Know there is the other side too- compassionate and child-pure. My patience was shaken out of me by caretakers many years ago. I am insecure because of it, but not at all even a tiny bit slow. I make mistakes, sure, and I can be flaming hot in your bed. If you are not up for a challenge, follow that girl instead. I talk in a little girl voice, to remind myself to take care of Norma Jean. You will do better if you nurture her; she despises anything unkind or mean. My name is Marilyn, and I will tease people for the next hundred years. Come sit by my side, and be affectionate, and you’ll have no kind of fears.
