I Am Not Your Shrinking Violet

lyrics in process

I am not your shrinking violet

You think you have the power but I've got it

When the night comes down and the fireflies

light my way

You'll stumble and fall 

And I'll enjoy leaving you there

Alone with the maggots 

Watching as the cool air makes you older...

Too old to tear the life from me anymore

Too old to rape me just because it's your right

When the crows come down to pick your flesh 

They'll be drunken from your fermented taste 

and fall to the ground with laughter in their bellies 

But they'll still leave your bones to rot

Decaying like my spirit, and the innocence of our two sons.

And I'll like it.

I am not your shrinking violet

I am taking back my soul because I want it

And I hate myself for trusting you to keep it

As your bones turn to dust and wisteria vines replace the

Evidence

I'll marvel at the beauty of their flowers

And the life I'll have without your useless

Violence

I am not your shrinking violet

it is difficult to find the right words after reading an offering such as this
there are so many vivid points given ... too old to tear, too old to rape, decayed like the spirit,
i am taking back my soul, i'll marvel at the beauty of their flowers

just beautiful absolutely truthfully beautiful
a genuine thank you for sharing

"Decaying like the my spirit" - the?

I agree - YOU aren't a shrinking Violet. Strong and well driven rant.

This poem reflects the suffering and the strong will to fight back. That shows you're strong enough to rise for your own right and justice as well. Good read.

Wow I love this..must be a hell of suffering..like revenge..even sorry for the crows coming to pick some flesh will be drunken from fermented taste,and lie laughing ..just lovely write.

[SleeplessVolcano]

Yes, this one does sound like a song.....it would need some rather dramatic melodies to match the intensity of the words.....

Great writing :)

The perfect revenge poem. Those crows will tear out his entrails and feed on him for days. The title says it all.
