Lucid
leave me to the sharks
they will, in turn
leave me to sleep with the fishes
and i will grow gills
and become a siren
luring men to their deaths
in watery graves
and i will sink entire fleets of ships
with just my voice
and bare hands
and carve my name
into the side of themConquered
big cats pounce at my feet
but they obey me
queen of the concrete jungle
crown made of bees
they buzz with insatiable hunger
and turn men into honey
call me Medusa
without the serpentine hairWorshiped
the point of all this
is that i'm not here to satiate you
kiss you or kill you
tame you or maim you
i'm just here to get by
with my own little life
and it's all just so scary
the weight of oceans
and cities and mountains
and even crownsbut i'm here for a while
so get fucking used to itAwake
