It Was Enough
They could not possibly understand
Had she had a lobotomy or was she born this way?
She laughed at their status quo paranoia
They would never touch her
Her flames licked and flicked all around
Up and down past their elbows
Before they knew they were on fire
They were screaming now
But only in her dreams.
It was enough
