Without a Stinger
A bee without a stinger
Can’t intimidate as much
And a broken trigger finger
Won’t be helpful in the clutch.
A snake with venom missing
Or a shark without its teeth
Are like cats who act like hissing
Hides some jeopardy beneath.
An eagle, hawk or owl
Lacking talons cannot kill
And a lion on the prowl
Without stealth won’t have much skill.
An elephant without a tusk
Will not do very well
And a president without a Musk
Is just an empty shell.

Stinger
Funny how love always stings
Hurts when it begins and ends
In between it feels so good
Cupid has stinger

A Stinger
He was good, giving, game
A f**k boy
F**king up my mind
So him and his girl could play
He used me, he bruised me
Hes f**king me up
I dont want to feel this pain anymore
This pain hurts so much
I cant take it anymore
I'm angry, I'm sad
Sometimes I feel like
Punching him in the head
I'm a lady who crushes
Got my head high
Like a Duschess
So I'll be swinging another way
Take me down already
You've got my heart pounding
I'll keep running away from you instead

Sugar and Stinger
Her life like a horse
A striping stallion
Breath taking force
Overseen by a falcon
A fickle terrain
And bipolar forecast
Derailing her train
Distorting her past
A thunderous tide
Bellows as it rolls
With enticing eyes
A story unfolds
Gripping the clutch
With her pinky finger
White candy, her crutch
Soft sugar and stinger
Briskly trotting
A tight rope beneath
Tripping, falling
A pool of grief
Barely afloat
Gasping for air
Just one more boat
To get here to there
