call me an animal

I'm

a tigress in the jungle

maneuvering uncertain waters

I'm

the witch who makes a fire in the ocean

seeps moonlight under her broom

showers it on a village of hungry kids

I'm

a bear - awake from hibernation

sucking honey from my honey pots

I am a lover, but I'm not yours

I belong to nothing, and nothing belongs to me

we angsty tonight

in a calm-thunder-brewing-under-them-eyelids kind of way

when things get hot then cold

then hot again

fluctuating, the worst kinds of relationships

like I'd never be certain about my presence in someone's life

today I feel dejected - on my accord, I admit

learning to feel and let go of

flaky people,

crumbs - ticks on a dog

fall off after sucking all blood

hello self elimination, I love you.
