I am NOT your Monster

Inspired by and loosely based on the song UNATTRACTIVE by Sofia Isella and the pure feminine rage she pumps into all of her songs <3

my hands shake in the dark
I want to hold yours in the fire
watch your skin curl and scream

in my mouth, the taste of venom
I want to spit it in your face
make you flinch at my reflection

my chest twists like a fist
I want to break it open
let the shattered pieces fly across the floor

I want to be ugly
violent
repulsive
a warning carved in bone and smoke

every glance you throw
is a strike, a spark, a storm
I want to match it
with teeth, claws, and fire

I want to claw my eyes out
just to see if the world will finally see what I feel
I want to pull my face apart
and laugh when you shiver, flinch and squirm

I want to be the thing
you can’t touch
can’t own
can't manipulate
can’t grasp

I want to bleed power
and let it stain the air
so even your shadow
knows my fury

I want to be every storm
you ignored
every fire
you tried to smother

I am spit
acid
teeth
nails

I am the mirror you flinch from
the shadow in the corner of every room

I want revenge ten times over

twisting inside
shards 
flying across the floor
screaming my name

I want to scream myself into grotesque perfection
rip myself open so the world can see the chaos I carry

I am teeth
I am claws
I am the ash in your lungs
I am the rage
I am the ruin
I am everything you feared
and everything you tried to break

I am not your monster
I am the one you will remember
when the walls burn
when smoke chokes out the sky
when nothing else remains
