Most men tango with a rose on tongue
But not he
He chewed the thorned stem of dynamite

Most women sit like a honey ***
But not she
She swallowed the poison of bleach

I wanted to tell him to stop
I wanted to tell her to stop
I wanted to tell them all to stop

Many people question
The legitimacy
Of my tastes

Cigarettes
And alcohol
I hate them very much

Ask anyone
Ask him
Ask her

I’m scared
And yet I’m fearless
Contradictions wrapped up in values

I hold beliefs
Close to my heart
And close to my mouth

Pen in hand
Hatred in mouth
I write, I speak
