Do not stretch your fingers in my direction; I am not your ******* or your heroine; I am no drug to be addicted to. My body is bruised and I am bent out of shape; My ankles are all ninety degree angles; And my knuckles are caked in golden hues. The callouses on my heels are peeling; And your spitfire attitude is exhausting. "Simmer down, firecracker; You lionhearted girl." I'm flying at the speed of light; I am going to crash, a beaten down piñata; And nobody will pick up the pieces. Simmer down, firecracker. I'll simmer down when I'm dead. (a.m.c.)

{simmer down, firecracker}
Do not stretch your fingers in my direction; I am not your ******* or your heroine; I am no drug to be addicted to. My body is bruised and I am bent out of shape; My ankles are all ninety degree angles; And my knuckles are caked in golden hues. The callouses on my heels are peeling; And your spitfire attitude is exhausting. "Simmer down, firecracker; You lionhearted girl." I'm flying at the speed of light; I am going to crash, a beaten down piñata; And nobody will pick up the pieces. Simmer down, firecracker. I'll simmer down when I'm dead. (a.m.c.)
For that time Katie told me, "simmer down, firecracker" and I thought it would make a great line in a poem. Thanks kick-ass Katie.
