and i set myself with shoulders back
knees bent, eyes burning forwards -
all to pound my emotions into the floor
so i don't have to look at you anymore

if you rule the earth
i'll just rule the sky

WE ALL HAVE OUR DEAD, OUR GHOSTS, OUR REGRETS. BUT YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE CRUELTY FROM THE PAIN. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO TOOK THE PAST JUST TO STAB IT INTO MY THROAT. AND I THINK THAT IN THE NEXT LIFE, I MIGHT DO THIS TO YOU. MY REVENGE IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR IMPOSSIBLE EXPLODE. SO WATCH OUT, DEAR. KEEP YOUR EYES LOCKED ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR AS I MASTER MY PAIN AND MAKE IT BARBED WIRE. LEAVE A KNIFE UNDER YOUR PILLOW WHEN YOU SLEEP. LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER. NEVER LET DOWN YOUR GUARD.

**YOU STILL WON'T SEE ME COMING.
you turned your inner ghosts into outward demons. no matter what it takes, i will do the same, if only to see the look on your face as i take my due from your lifeless form.

(this turned out more medea than expected)

did you know that
there's no such thing as
a perfect name?

one day i'm catherine
and in the next breath, esther -
boudica, scathach, chiang;
virginia, sacagawea, rosalind.

i change like the ocean
so don't try to name me.
don't try to limit me.

you cannot keep me
from being great.

let's start a new kind of revolution.

let's burn idioms at the stake
and throw similies to the wind.

let's be madmen with
ink for blood,
paper for skin,
rebellion for bones.

let's tear down the words
and build something better.

i'm the flint. you're the match.
let's burn this forest down.

those who mean well
cannot stand in our way.
