Warrior, gonna paint my face in fighter's colors. Gonna put on my tightest clothes so all the more,  I can keep things close to the chest. Gonna tie up my laces- all the way up. Up around my thigh, up around my belly and high around my heart. You thought my heart beat like a scared bird? Boxer! It beats out a tribal rhythm to remind me just who in the Hell I think I am! It beats with my hummingbird heart- fragile and fast to leave ferocity comes in flashes and I'll kick away your insecurity you leave me at my feet and  the shovel for your digs. I'll plant deep  your innuendos like some back bone growing **** I won't bother ducking bullets- my metal cage of resilience and keep it locked and ready to spring.. Your failure to thrive leaves me bored. Motivated?  Oh, yes I am - the upper hand that  holds the sun will never die from burning. Bring me your withering plant of a soul, I'll still water it because it's she who holds the hose, that holds the power.
