Sheepish

(inspired by Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy)

I’m a bad girl
bad like Chucky's bride
under a sequined veil I hide
I'm a bad girl
pulling the rug from under your feet
upon learning your life isn't sweet
I'm a bad girl
because I can't be strong
to keep from doing you wrong
I'm a bad girl
not good enough for you
so bad no light can shine through
I'm a bad girl
for backing away like a sheep
when the hills get too steep
I'm a baaad girl

Hilarious and baaad. I like the juxtaposition of your wickedness and your sheepishness. Simple yet profound and vulnerable. I see a lioness in your poem hiding in the wool. Bravo.
