There appears to be

~confusion~

concerning

!APPROVAL!

See, you can’t

withhold what I reject

and you may as well surrender

the idea

that I’ll wear shame for show,

allowing you to luxuriate

in shambles of superiority

when we both know

what you did.

Self-exploited victims

leave a bad taste in my mouth—

I’ll satisfy my

blood-thirst,

spit you out

without masticating.

About the Creator

I'm a subversive weirdo nerd witch who loves rocks. Intrusive rhyme bothers me. Some of my fiction may have provoked divorce proceedings in another state.😈

My words are mine. Suggest ai use and get eviscerated.
