Bestia

Introverted Sage

Bottom barrel - guess that’s your name.
All ‘cause you refuse to play in their game.
Revenge getting old - it’s quite lame.
Can’t hold your head high with that shame.

A demon - you came here to tame.
At times - you are one in the same.
Glutton - for a kiss of false fame.
Seeing that it’s you who’s to blame.

Faulted - guess that’s your middle name.
A fool - for refusing the game.
Sitting in the corner feeling lame.
Poor you - oh no - what a shame.

Seeing the beast you came here to tame.
At times you are one in the same.
Forgetting a quick claim to fame.
A pity - yourself you still blame.

One day - you will remember your name.
A You - that can win at their game.
Reality - the shit has been lame.
Just walk away there is no shame.

The beast - wasn’t too hard to tame.
Seeing you and the beast are the same.
Struggles - feed into the fame.
Misguided - minds are to blame.

      let that rage, fuel your ink
      dear Poet
      tattoo you will, upon their ignorant
      awareness
      roar proud, let them remember
      the feel
      of an honest heart's unflinching passion..
      stay strong! write bold
      and find a path, to where that is enough

        Thank you!! Makes me think of the poem or quote by Nikita Gill 'Remember What You Must Do'
        I appreciate your kind words and motivation!

        • L. B. Mek

          'and you remind them
          what hell looks like
          when it wears the skin
          of a gentle human.”
          (am gonna look up more of her work
          thank you! kind Poet)
