Flex (Original poem)
Go ahead
Play me for a sheep
Step up if you want
But you might swallow teeth
Cuz I got a fire underneath
And I'm down to burn beef
So let's get this war started
Till the heavy hearted turn cheek
Please, make the mistake
And take me for weak...
I'll take all this hate
And make you to bleat
When you speak...
To me
You better come with respect
Fucking around with this sheep
Might get your chin checked
Have a blessed day
You ever have one of those days when people for some reason or another feel like it's a good reason to test you? I think it's because I tend to be soft spoken, but don't mistake that for fear. I age like a poison tree, and that shit can come back to haunt fools that underestimate the consequences of wronging me.
1SBD goes to the first person who guesses where the poison tree reference comes from.
The poem by William Blake?
This is such a well-written weaving of words.
Thank you @moeknows!
Ahhh. You're welcome. I was trying to get here and reply to you before you saw it. Sorry for it taking a bit to get to you. I saw it earlier, but couldn't transfer or respond until I got back to my computer.
Yes. A Poison Tree is one of my favorite poems and is probably responsible for me being into poetry at all. So I'm glad you knew it.
I also appreciate the complement. Thank you.
