Pretty
Location
My lungs are made
Of fire.
My heart is made,
Of ice.
My words combine
To make steam.
They will burn you
With no hesitation.
I sit on a throne
Made of thorns,
With the occasional flower
Poking through.
I walk on a path
Made of hate.
I did not make it so,
I simply stomp it down.
Give me a pen,
I will use it as a sword.
My words can destroy
And demolish kingdoms.
I am powerful and strong,
But also loving and kind.
I am
Impossible.
So do not reduce me
To simply “pretty”
Or “sexy”
Or “hot”.
I will use
My fire and steam
To melt and burn
Your words.
I am not
Your decoration
Or your eye candy
Or your “sweetheart”.
I am your ruler,
And I rule
With a fist
Of flames.
I cannot be subdued,
Objectified, or
Reduced to anything
Less than what I am.
I am
A woman,
And every woman
Is me.
