I Am Not Your Shrinking Violet

I Am Not Your Shrinking Violet

A Poem by Ally

lyrics in process

"
I am not your shrinking violet
You think you have the power but I've got it
When the night comes down and the fireflies
light my way
You'll stumble and fall 
And I'll enjoy leaving you there
Alone with the maggots 
Watching as the cool air makes you older...
Too old to tear the life from me anymore
Too old to rape me just because it's your right
When the crows come down to pick your flesh 
They'll be drunken from your fermented taste 
and fall to the ground with laughter in their bellies 
But they'll still leave your bones to rot
Decaying like my spirit, and the innocence of our two sons.
And I'll like it.
I am not your shrinking violet
I am taking back my soul because I want it
And I hate myself for trusting you to keep it
As your bones turn to dust and wisteria vines replace the
Evidence
I'll marvel at the beauty of their flowers
And the life I'll have without your useless
Violence
I am not your shrinking violet

I agree - YOU aren't a shrinking Violet. Strong and well driven rant.

Anytime...
This poem reflects the suffering and the strong will to fight back. That shows you're strong enough to rise for your own right and justice as well. Good read.

Yes, this one does sound like a song.....it would need some rather dramatic melodies to match the intensity of the words.....

Great writing :)

The perfect revenge poem. Those crows will tear out his entrails and feed on him for days. The title says it all.
