Righteous Carnage

Sit demure or scream confident 
a caress with the softest word,
I will speak the language you want;

Understand that I must be heard, 
take what you will but you won’t win;
to think I would stay is absurd; 

Ignore me now commit a sin; 
The minute that I walk away 
enhanced addiction will begin; 

 I’ll bleed you every single day, 
my righteous carnage on display.
