May 2014
A girl can only take so much before she explodes
Temper past boiling point and eyes raging bright
I may not look like it at first
But there’s anger beneath the exterior
Your taunting can only go so far
It’s too much to handle at once
Poking and prodding to see how far you can go
I’m not afraid of your teasing
But the consequences when I blow over
Watch out for the fire
Apologies I know you don’t mean
Only adding fuel to the blaze
There’s no way to douse the flames
Only to let it simmer and burn itself out
You try to get it to settle
It comes back with twice the fervor
Don’t mess with the fire
I’m a force to be reckoned with
And this is one fight you can’t win
